# Unitlab CLI

{% hint style="info" %}
This **guide** shows how to use the most common CLI commands
{% endhint %}

#### Common commands

After [installing the Unitlab package](/cli-python-sdk/get-started.md), you can efficiently manage your projects and datasets through the terminal. To access all the available commands,  run `unitlab --help`. However, before executing any command, ensure you have an API key, which can be obtained by visiting the user account page.

#### Configuration

This command helps you configure your credentials. It saves the API key and URL in a configuration file  `~/.unitlab/credentials`for future use. Other commands can override the default API key if provided as an `--api-key`option.&#x20;
