Forget about scripting, CLI Plugins are here!
summary
Extends CF CLI by letting external binaries register as commands that run with "cf <name>", call core commands, accept flags and show help alongside builtins. Examples include Diego beta (~12 commands) for an experimental backend, a one‑time appstack changer for Lucid→Trusty migration, a CLI recorder and live‑stats that opens a browser showing CPU/memory per instance. Plugins are Go single‑executables, installable via cf install-plugin and discoverable through the open source Clipper plugin repo, and demos work end‑to‑end.
