Hi <:vmathi:812484657547313212> Indeed the CLI is not available via npm. You still can ask for it by creating an issue on the repo

There is an issue about it already https://github.com/supabase/cli/issues/127

Makes very little sense that it's not published there

The CLI includes a lot of stuff not easy to do using nodejs (mainly docker stuff if i remember correctly). It makes more sense to use golang for that, but i agree it should be published to npm, it is just kinda tricky to do it

How can we figure this out and where is this on the priority list? How much is being done to fix it?

Or is the cli under heavy/early development atm and therefore there are big steps such as this still missing?

There is some steps missing, you can see them in the readme file of the project

What is completed is already great functionality, which web devs using supabase could benefit a lot from. 

Does it not make sense to try and figure out the hard parts to be able to publish the CLI to npm, and then continue working on it from there? 

It needs to be done at some point anyways, and will it not only get harder, the more the code grows, as long as the CLI is being developed without npm in mind?

I'd like to help but I know nothing about Go and publishing packages to npm

You can try to contribute by making an up to date library of "go-npm"

I still can try to make a PR later if it's really necessary

There might be a fork which is more up to date? https://github.com/gzuidhof/go-npm

Indeed, can you share the link to this project in the issue directly to inform the team about it please?

No, thank YOU. Supabase and their open source work is AWESOME

Let me know if there is something else I can do as a junior noob to push for this to happen.

I guess the fastest way to implement it would be to make a pull request

If i'd try to make a pull request on this i'd probably fail miserably. I'll have patience and keep an eye on the issue 🙂
