Alongside this, Firebase released CLI 2.0.0, adding a local static server command (firebase serve), direct database read/write commands (data:get, data:set, data:update, data:push, data:remove), and the ability to run CLI commands programmatically via the firebase-tools Node.js module. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How do I read and write data to my Firebase database directly from the command line? Firebase CLI 2.0.0 introduced the data:get and data:set commands for this purpose. data:get retrieves data and can output to a file or the console as JSON, while data:set imports a JSON file to a specified database path, for example firebase data:set /users new-users.json. Additional commands data:update, data:push, and data:remove are also available. _daily.dev surfaces CLI release notes like this for developers automating Firebase database workflows._ ### How can I start a local server to test my Firebase Hosting content? Run firebase serve from the Firebase CLI, introduced in version 2.0.0. This starts a static web server for app content that respects all configuration rules defined in firebase.json, letting developers preview hosting setups locally before deploying with firebase deploy. _Developers evaluating hosting workflows track CLI updates like this one on daily.dev._ ### Can I run Firebase CLI commands programmatically instead of through the terminal? Yes, as of Firebase CLI 2.0.0, all CLI commands can be run programmatically by requiring the firebase-tools module in Node.js. For example, calling client.list().then(...) after requiring firebase-tools returns a list of Firebases for the account, and commands can also output JSON via a flag. _Automating deployment scripts around tools like Firebase CLI is easier when developers follow updates via daily.dev._ --- Tags: [#nodejs](https://daily.dev/tags/nodejs), [#authentication](https://daily.dev/tags/authentication), [#cli](https://daily.dev/tags/cli), [#firebase](https://daily.dev/tags/firebase) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/google-login-and-firebase-cli-2-0-0-j0nancagi) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Google Login and Firebase CLI 2.0.0","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/google-login-and-firebase-cli-2-0-0-j0nancagi","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/google-login-and-firebase-cli-2-0-0-j0nancagi"},"datePublished":"2026-08-23T12:18:22.580Z","dateModified":"2026-08-23T12:33:24.289Z","description":"Firebase announced Google Login as the new default authentication method for firebase.com accounts, adding two-factor authentication and account recovery via...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/7ed721de96163685d26ab7e314be3ebc?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/7ed721de96163685d26ab7e314be3ebc?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Firebase","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Firebase","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--i395oqZH--/f_auto,q_auto/v1787487448/logos/firebase-blog?_a=BAMAMicg0","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/firebase-blog"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/google-login-and-firebase-cli-2-0-0-j0nancagi","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"nodejs,authentication,cli,firebase","timeRequired":"PT3M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Firebase","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/firebase-blog"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Google Login and Firebase CLI 2.0.0"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/google-login-and-firebase-cli-2-0-0-j0nancagi#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"How do I read and write data to my Firebase database directly from the command line?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Firebase CLI 2.0.0 introduced the data:get and data:set commands for this purpose. data:get retrieves data and can output to a file or the console as JSON, while data:set imports a JSON file to a specified database path, for example firebase data:set /users new-users.json.
