The Microsoft Fabric CLI (`fab`) is a powerful, file-system-inspired command-line interface for Microsoft Fabric. Explore, automate, and script your Fabric environment directly from your terminal with familiar commands like `ls`, `cd`, `mkdir`, `cp`, and more.

## 🚀 Quick Start

```bash
# Install the CLI
pip install ms-fabric-cli

# Authenticate
fab auth login

# Start exploring
fab ls                                                           # List workspaces
fab get <workspace-name>.Workspace/<item-name>.<item-type>       # Get item properties (e.g., ws1.Workspace/nb1.Notebook)
```

# Create a new notebook
fab mkdir MyNotebook.notebook

# Copy an item between workspaces
fab cp notebook1.notebook /TargetWorkspace.workspace/

# Export an item definition
fab export MyReport.report -o ./backup/

# Import an item
fab import NewNotebook.notebook -i ./definitions/notebook.json
```

### OneLake File Operations
```bash
# Navigate to lakehouse files
fab cd MyLakehouse.lakehouse/Files

# Upload a file
fab cp ./local-data.csv ./remote-data.csv

# Download files
fab cp ./remote-data.csv ~/Downloads/

# List files with details
fab ls -l
```

### Job Management
```bash
# Run a notebook synchronously
fab job run MyNotebook.notebook

# Schedule a pipeline
fab job run-sch MyPipeline.datapipeline --type daily --interval "09:00"

# Check job status
fab job run-status MyNotebook.notebook --id <job-id>
```

### Table Operations
```bash
# Load CSV data into a table
fab table load Tables/SalesData --file Files/sales.csv --mode append
