lgtm-cli

LGTM includes a web UI and gRPC server in the lgtm executable.

cargo install lgtm-cli
lgtm up
lgtm status
lgtm review
lgtm down

up uses the embedded daemonize library on macOS and Linux to start the UI and backend in one background process. It opens the UI at http://127.0.0.1:8080. Use --no-open to suppress the browser, --port to select a different port, or --foreground to run in the terminal. No Node, Bun, Buf, or separate daemon tool is needed at runtime.

status shows the UI, server, and browser RPC URLs. status --json exposes the same addresses for editor integration. review starts or reuses the server and opens /?path=<encoded current directory>. Use review --no-open to print that URL without opening a browser.

All runtime files live in ~/.lgtm: server.pid, server.port, and server.log. A repeated up reuses the running server. down sends SIGTERM to stop both UI and API serving. LGTM_HOME selects an isolated store for testing.

From the repository, run mise run dev for the backend watcher and Vite, or mise run //apps/lgtm-cli:bundle before a raw Cargo build. Only this CLI package is published; the private backend and web app are bundled as implementation code and static assets.
