The Fig CLI

Fig CLI Structure
Fig's CLI makes it easy to access apps, commonly used files (like interactive runbooks), and commonly used scripts. 
The general syntax for Fig commands is:
fig <command, app name, or file name> [subcommands] [inputs]
Below
1.CLI Hierarchy explains how Fig parses and routes every command it receives
2.Examples gives some examples CLI commands and how Fig would route them
Remember: Fig commands can display websites, fig apps, interactive runbooks (.run files). and execute scripts
CLI Hierarchy
Fig follows a specific hierarchy when determining how to parse any given command. Fig has a hierarchy to avoid conflicts. For example, fig deploy could refer to an app named deploy and a script in your $FIGPATH named deploy.
Let's say you run fig CMD. Fig will check (in this order):
1.​Fig Overrides​
Is CMD a native Fig command that can't be overridden?
2.​Fig Aliases​
Have you defined a custom Fig Alias for CMD?
3.​$FIGPATH 
Is there a file like CMD.fig, CMD/index.html, CMD.run, CMD.html or an executable like CMD, CMD.sh, CMD.py, or CMD.js in any of the directories you have specified in your $FIGPATH
For help setting up your $FIGPATH, go to Settings​
4.​Fig Apps​
Is there an App on the Fig App Store called CMD
Examples
fig dir --> Opens the dir app
fig google hello world --> Opens the Google app and searches "hello world"
fig run heroku--> Opens the interactive runbook, heroku.run, located in your current working directory
fig web https://github.com/pulls --> Open your Pulls page in Github
fig local index.html --> Opens the index.html file in your current working directory
fig deploy --flag  --> Runs the deploy.sh script and passes in a flag
fig acme forkdb --> Runs the forkdb subcommand specified by your acme.fig file
Hint: Just running fig gives you a list of all the subcommands you have available.
