# @pkgseer/cli — retired

> **This package is retired.** `0.7.0` is the final release and ships no
> functionality: every command prints a migration notice and exits non-zero.
> Older `0.6.x` versions are unsupported and no longer work fully against the
> backend. Use [GitHits](https://github.com/githits-com/githits-cli) instead.

## Migrating

GitHits is the code context layer for AI coding agents. It covers what this CLI
did — package metadata, vulnerabilities, dependencies, changelogs, docs, code
navigation — and adds cross-OSS example search.

```bash
npx -y githits@latest init
```

The wizard detects your coding agents, signs you in, and writes the MCP and
skill configuration. Uninstall the old CLI and drop any `pkgseer` entry from
your agents' MCP configuration:

```bash
npm uninstall -g @pkgseer/cli
```

Command names carry over — `pkgseer login`, `pkgseer search`, `pkgseer pkg …`,
`pkgseer docs …`, and `pkgseer code …` become `githits …`. Some surfaces moved
or were renamed; see the [GitHits docs](https://docs.githits.com/) for the
current command reference and [manual MCP
setup](https://docs.githits.com/installation/manual-setup).

## What happens if you upgrade

- **CLI** — any invocation prints the migration notice and exits `1`.
- **MCP server** — `pkgseer mcp` still starts and still advertises the tool
  names 0.6.16 exposed, but every tool call returns the migration notice as an
  error. This is deliberate: an agent that still has `pkgseer` configured
  reports the migration path instead of a server that failed to start.

## Staying on 0.6.x will not work either

The backend has moved on. Query surfaces the older versions depend on are
being removed — every search surface other than discovery search, for
example — so 0.6.x returns errors or partial results, and it will keep
degrading. Every published version is deprecated on npm and none will receive
fixes.

Note that `^0.6.x` ranges do not cross to 0.7.0, so a pinned install never
picks up the migration notice on its own. Upgrade or uninstall.

## This repository

Archived and read-only. The last functional implementation is on the
[`v0.6.16` tag](https://github.com/githits-com/pkgseer-cli/releases/tag/v0.6.16)
and the source remains in `src/` for reference; only the entry point
(`src/cli.ts`) was replaced. Issues and pull requests belong in
[githits-cli](https://github.com/githits-com/githits-cli/issues).
