Tilt CLI Reference
tilt up
Start Tilt with the given Tiltfile args
Synopsis
Starts Tilt and runs services defined in the Tiltfile.
There are two types of args: 1) Tilt flags, listed below, which are handled entirely by Tilt. 2) Tiltfile args, which can be anything, and are potentially accessed by config.parse in your Tiltfile.
By default: 1) Tiltfile args are interpreted as the list of services to start, e.g. tilt up frontend backend. 2) Running with no Tiltfile args starts all services defined in the Tiltfile
This default behavior does not apply if the Tiltfile uses config.parse or config.set_enabled_resources. In that case, see https://docs.tilt.dev/tiltfile_config.html and/or comments in your Tiltfile
When you exit Tilt (using Ctrl+C), Kubernetes resources and Docker Compose resources continue running; you can use tilt down (https://docs.tilt.dev/cli/tilt_down.html) to delete these resources. Any long-running local resources–i.e. those using serve_cmd–are terminated when you exit Tilt.
tilt up [<tilt flags>] [-- <Tiltfile args>]
