Canvas CLI (Deprecated)

DEPRECATED This was built on an our very first private API. We'll have a CLI sooner or later but aren't quite ready with one, yet.

	canvas list [--collection=COLLECTION]
	canvas pull <id> [--md | --json | --html]
	canvas delete <id>
	canvas account
	canvas login
	canvas env
	canvas -h | --help
	canvas --version

Options:
  --md          Format Canvas as markdown
  --json        Format Canvas as json
  --html        Format Canvas as html
  -h, --help    Show this screen.
  --version     Show version.
