+## CLI wrapper
+
+The wrapper provides a convenient interface to most scripts, and requires the [same dependencies](#dependencies). You can access it as `peertube` via an alias in your `.bashrc` like `alias peertube="node ${PEERTUBE_PATH}/dist/server/tools/peertube.js"`:
+
+```
+  Usage: peertube [command] [options]
+
+  Options:
+
+    -v, --version         output the version number
+    -h, --help            output usage information
+
+  Commands:
+
+    auth [action]         register your accounts on remote instances to use them with other commands
+    upload|up             upload a video
+    import-videos|import  import a video from a streaming platform
+    watch|w               watch a video in the terminal ✩°｡⋆
+    help [cmd]            display help for [cmd]
+```
+
+The wrapper can keep track of instances you have an account on. We limit to one account per instance for now.
+
+```bash
+$ peertube auth add -u "PEERTUBE_URL" -U "PEERTUBE_USER" --password "PEERTUBE_PASSWORD"
+$ peertube auth list
+┌──────────────────────────────┬──────────────────────────────┐
+│ instance                     │ login                        │
+├──────────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────┤
+│ "PEERTUBE_URL"               │ "PEERTUBE_USER"              │
+└──────────────────────────────┴──────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+You can now use that account to upload videos without feeding the same parameters again.
+
+```bash
+$ peertube up <videoFile>
+```
+
+And now that your video is online, you can watch it from the confort of your terminal (use `peertube watch --help` to see the supported players):
+
+```bash
+$ peertube watch https://peertube.cpy.re/videos/watch/e8a1af4e-414a-4d58-bfe6-2146eed06d10
+```
