ur - Command line tool to manage metadata within a namespace

  ur define namespace MyApp

  ur describe MyApp::Some::Class

  ur update classes

ur is a command-line wrapper around the UR::Namespace::Command tree of modules. They manipulate, display and alter metadata within a namespace.

Like other UR::Command-based commands, ur by itself doesn't do much. It functions as an entry point to the various sub-commands for displaying, changing and updating metadata. If insufficient arguments are given on the command line, or if --help is on the command line, then the command will display some helpful documentation such as accepted command line args and available sub-commands.

All the modules implementing the sub-commands are locted under UR::Namespace::Command

These are the commands available at the top level.
