Execute raw commands

Last modified: 11 February 2024

In Fleet, you can execute raw commands and automate the interaction with external tools via run configurations.

For this, use the command run configuration type:

{
    "configurations": [
        {
            "type": "command",
            "name": "curl example",
            "program": "curl",
            "args": ["-H", "Header:value", "localhost:8080"]
        }
    ]
}

After you have configured the command, you can execute it from the Run & Debug popup .
