Full documentation for every command is available using `--help`. Below are some example commands to show what the CLI can do.
All the examples below use user ID 1 (usually an admin account), but you should replace that with your own user account.
You can also find other examples (without output) by looking at [the testing files for our CLI tests](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/tree/trunk/plugins/woocommerce/tests/cli/features).
Each command will have a `.feature` file. For example, [these some payment gateway commands](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/blob/trunk/plugins/woocommerce/tests/cli/features/payment_gateway.feature).
