Summary

Convoy, an open-source webhooks gateway designed for scalability and multi-tenancy, has re-launched its client CLI tool with improved documentation to enhance user experience. The new approach resolves previous issues with intuitiveness by separating the server and client functionalities into two distinct binaries: 'convoy' for the server and 'convoy-cli' for the client. This change addresses the confusion caused by the initial implementation, where commands were dependent on different configuration files. For incoming projects, users can now authenticate and debug events locally using personal access tokens, while outgoing projects will rely on OAuth for improved intuitiveness. The setup process for the convoy-cli involves installation via Homebrew, starting the stream server, and logging in with a Personal API Key to access and manage projects. Detailed steps and commands are provided for users to listen and debug webhook events locally, with further documentation available for deeper guidance.
