 # Base44 CLI
 
-Command-line interface for building applications with [Base44's backend service](https://docs.base44.com/developers/backend/overview/introduction).
+A unified command-line interface for managing Base44 applications, entities, functions, deployments, and related services.
 
-Base44's backend service provides a managed backend for your applications, including data storage with entities, serverless functions, authentication, and hosting. The CLI lets you:
-
-- **Create projects** from templates.
-- **Sync** resources defined in local code with your Base44 backend.
-- **Deploy sites** to Base44's hosting platform.
-
-To get started, see the full list of commands below or check out the [documentation](https://docs.base44.com/developers/references/cli/get-started/overview).
+**Zero dependencies** - installs in seconds with no dependency resolution.
 
 ## Installation
 
 ```bash
+# Using npm (globally)
 npm install -g base44
-```
 
-Or run commands directly with npx:
-
-```bash
+# Or run directly with npx
 npx base44 <command>
 ```
 
-Requires Node.js 20.19.0 or higher.
-
-## Quick start
+## Quick Start
 
 ```bash
-# Authenticate
+# 1. Login to Base44
 base44 login
 
-# Create a project
+# 2. Create a new project
 base44 create
+
+# 3. Deploy everything (entities, functions, and site)
+npm run build
+base44 deploy
 ```
 
-The CLI will guide you through project setup. For step-by-step tutorials, see the quickstart guides:
+## Commands
 
-- [Backend only](https://docs.base44.com/developers/backend/quickstart/quickstart-backend-only) — for headless apps or custom frontends
-- [React](https://docs.base44.com/developers/backend/quickstart/quickstart-with-react) — full-stack with Vite + React

+#### Link Command Options
 
-<!--| [`eject`](https://docs.base44.com/developers/references/cli/commands/eject) | Create a Base44 backend project from an existing Base44 app | -->
+The `link` command supports both creating new projects and linking to existing ones:
 
-## AI Agent Skills
+```bash
+# Interactive mode - choose to create new or link existing
+base44 link
 
-When creating a project, you'll be prompted to install AI agent skills for your preferred coding assistants:
+# Create a new project (non-interactive)
+base44 link --create --name "my-app" --description "My app description"
 
-```
-◆  Add AI agent skills? (Select agents to configure)
-│  ◼ Cursor
-│  ◼ Claude Code
-└
+# Link to an existing project by ID (non-interactive)
+base44 link --projectId <app-id>
 ```
 
-This installs [base44/skills](https://github.com/base44/skills) which helps AI agents understand how to work with Base44 projects.
+| Option | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `-c, --create` | Create a new project (skip selection prompt) |

+
+## Configuration
+
+### Project Configuration
+
+Base44 projects are configured via a `config.jsonc` (or `config.json`) file in the `base44/` subdirectory:
+
+```jsonc
+// base44/config.jsonc
+{
+  "name": "My Project",
+  "entitiesDir": "./entities",   // Default: ./entities
+  "functionsDir": "./functions", // Default: ./functions
+  "site": {
+    "outputDirectory": "../dist" // Path to built site files
+  }
+}
 ```
 
-**Manual installation:**
+### App Configuration
 
-```bash
-npx add-skill base44/skills
+Your app ID is stored in a `.app.jsonc` file in the `base44/` directory. This file is created automatically when you run `base44 create` or `base44 link`:
+
+```jsonc
+// base44/.app.jsonc
+{
+  "id": "your-app-id"
+}
 ```
 
-## Help
+## Project Structure
+
+A typical Base44 project has this structure:
+
+```
+my-project/
+├── base44/
+│   ├── config.jsonc           # Project configuration
+│   ├── .app.jsonc             # App ID (git-ignored)
+│   ├── entities/              # Entity schema files
+│   │   ├── user.jsonc
+│   │   └── product.jsonc
+│   └── functions/             # Backend functions
+│       └── my-function/
+│           ├── config.jsonc
+│           └── index.js
+├── src/                       # Your frontend code
+├── dist/                      # Built site files (for deployment)
+└── package.json
+```
