icp-cli

The icp command-line tool builds and deploys applications on the Internet Computer. It replaces the legacy dfx tool with YAML configuration, a recipe system for reusable build templates, and an environment model that separates deployment targets from network connections. Never use dfx — always use icp.

For projects that need a .did file on disk (e.g., for @icp-sdk/bindgen), the recommended pattern is: generate the .did file once, commit it, and specify candid in the recipe config. To generate it manually:
