+### REPL ([Read Eval Print Loop](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v8.x/api/repl.html))
+
+If you want to interact with the application libraries and objects, there is a REPL for that.
+
+usage: `node ./dist/server/tools/repl.js`
+
+"The default evaluator will, by default, assign the result of the most recently evaluated expression to the special variable `_` (underscore). Explicitly setting `_` to a value will disable this behavior."
+
+- type `.help` to list commands available in the repl, notice it starts with a dot
+- type `.exit` to exit, note that you still have to press CTRL-C to actually exit, or press CTRL-C (3 times) without typing `.exit` to exit
+- type `context` to list all available objects and libraries in the context, note: `Promise` is also available but it's not listed in the context, in case you need promises for something
+- type `env` to see the loaded environment variables
+- type `path` to access path library
+- type `lodash` to access lodash library
+- type `uuidv1` to access uuid/v1 library
+- type `uuidv3` to access uuid/v3 library
+- type `uuidv4` to access uuid/v4 library
+- type `uuidv5` to access uuid/v5 library
+- type `YoutubeDL` to access youtube-dl library
+- type `cli` to access the cli helpers object
+- type `logger` to access the logger; if you log to it, it will write to stdout and to the peertube.log file
+- type `constants` to access the constants loaded by the server
+- type `coreUtils` to access the core-utils helpers object
+- type `ffmpegUtils` to access the ffmpeg-utils helpers object
+- type `peertubeCryptoUtils` to access the peertube-crypto helpers object
+- type `signupUtils` to access the signup helpers object
+- type `utils` to access the utils helpers object
+- type `YoutubeDLUtils` to access the youtube-dl helpers object
+- type `sequelizeTypescript` to access sequelizeTypescript
+- type `modelsUtils` to access the models/utils
+- type `models` to access the shortcut to sequelizeTypescript.models
+- type `transaction` to access the shortcut to sequelizeTypescript.transaction
+- type `query` to access the shortcut to sequelizeTypescript.query
+- type `queryInterface` to access the shortcut to sequelizeTypescript.queryInterface
