babysitter blueprints:add-marketplace --marketplace-url <url> [--marketplace-path <relative-path>] --global|--project [--json]
babysitter blueprints:list-blueprints --marketplace-name <name> --global|--project [--json]
babysitter blueprints:install --plugin-name <name> [--marketplace-name <mp>] --global|--project [--json]
babysitter blueprints:update --plugin-name <name> [--marketplace-name <mp>] --global|--project [--json]
babysitter blueprints:configure --plugin-name <name> [--marketplace-name <mp>] --global|--project [--json]
