# redis-cli

Use `redis-cli` to interact with Redis instances.

## Common Commands

### Connection

- Authenticate: `AUTH <password>`
- Ping: `PING`

### Key Operations
- Get value: `GET <key>`
- Set value: `SET <key> <value>`
- Delete key: `DEL <key>`
- Check existence: `EXISTS <key>`
- Set with expiry: `SETEX <key> <seconds> <value>`

### Inspection
- List all keys: `KEYS <pattern>`
- Key type: `TYPE <key>`
- TTL: `TTL <key>`
- Memory usage: `MEMORY USAGE <key>`
