[ENH] - Ensure workflow parity/symmetry between REST API and CLI #858

Open kcpevey opened 3 months ago

kcpevey commented 3 months ago

Feature description

Currently, there are features which are available in the REST API which are not available in the CLI. Long term, it would be nice to have the CLI and the REST API cover the same functionality.

Value and/or benefit

Many users want to do things programmatically but don't want to write their own wrapper around REST endpoints. This would enable more "ready-made" programmatic interactions with conda-store.

Anything else?

The first step here would be to identify what is missing from CLI that is available in the API and/or determine some user workflows that would be interesting to cover in the CLI.

This is one of the goals on our roadmap as just one of the planned UX improvements for the coming months. The initial part of this work has already begun with the user workflow investigation. Updates on the status to come later this year.
