Patrik Oldsberg 47b50ef3c4 Add back @types/webpack-env to CLI dependencies
The CLI provides tsconfig presets that include webpack-env in the
types array, so @types/webpack-env must remain a dependency of the
CLI package for consuming apps to compile correctly.

@backstage/cli

This package provides a CLI for developing Backstage plugins and apps.

Installation

Install the package via Yarn:

yarn add @backstage/cli

Development

For local development the cli can be used directly, even from other packages in this repo. The bin/backstage-cli entrypoint contains a switch that will load the implementation from the src directory when executed inside this repo.

To run the cli in watch mode, use yarn start <args>. For example yarn start lint --help.

To try out the command locally, you can execute the following from the parent directory of this repo:

./backstage/packages/cli/bin/backstage-cli --help
