We’ve released several updates to the Gencove CLI.

Updates are briefly outlined below and more details about the changes available on https://docs.gencove.com

1. Listing projects, samples, and uploads

In addition to uploading and downloading files, the CLI now enables users to list projects, samples in a project, and uploads. For example, projects can be listed as follows:

2. Quality control metrics available for download

A new qc file type has been added, which enables using the CLI to download quality control metrics for each sample.

3. New download template token: default_filename

Edge cases of bioinformatics file naming conventions are not always easy to represent with a single file naming template, so we’re exposing our API’s default file naming schemes via a new template token default_filename.

4. Regularly publishing standalone binaries in addition to PyPI releases

Due to Python 2 reaching its end of life, Gencove is migrating towards supporting exclusively Python 3 for the CLI. To make this transition easier, we’re shipping precompiled binaries for MacOS, Linux, and Windows via GitHub.
