Telemetry

TanStack CLI sends anonymous usage telemetry by default.

• Sent: command usage, durations, selected framework/package manager/add-on ids, and coarse result metadata
• Never sent: project names, file paths, target directories, raw search queries, raw template URLs/paths, add-on config values, env vars, or raw error messages
• Disabled automatically in CI, or when DO_NOT_TRACK=1 or TANSTACK_CLI_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=1

Manage it with:

tanstack telemetry status
tanstack telemetry disable
tanstack telemetry enable
