# Pull All Resources

### Command Execution

To pull features from a Catalyst project to your CLI, navigate to the project directory where you want to pull the
resources to, and execute the following command:

```sh
 catalyst pull 
```

This will initiate the pull process.

Select the resources that you want to pull. You can pull all three resources, or choose specific resources. Press
**Enter** after selecting the resources.

### Pull Functions

 If you selected Functions, select all the functions that you want to pull from your console to the project directory from the list. Press **Enter** after making the selection.

This will pull each function available in the console into its own directory in the [functions directory](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cli/v1/project-directory-structure/functions-directory/) of your project, in your local machine.

### Pull the Client

 If you selected _client_ , choose the client app version that you want to pull, from the list. The CLI displays all versions of your client application hosted in the remote console. Make the selection and press **Enter** .

The client files of the version you select will be pulled into the [client directory](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cli/v1/project-directory-structure/client-directory/) of your project, in your local machine.

### Pull API Gateway Rules

 If you selected API Gateway Rules, a ` **catalyst-user-rules.json** ` file will be created in your project's home directory. The latest definitions created for all your APIs in the remote console will be written to this file. You can learn about this file from the [Working with API Gateway CLI help page](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cli/v1/working-with-api-gateway/introduction/) .

 If API Gateway is disabled for your project in the remote console, Catalyst will ask you to enable it from the CLI before pulling the API definitions. Type **Y** and press **Enter** to enable API Gateway.

 If API Gateway is enabled, the API definitions will be automatically pulled and added to the `catalyst-user-rules.json` file.

 Catalyst will also update the ` [catalyst.json](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cli/v1/project-directory-structure/catalyst-json/) ` file to include the information about the API Gateway rules JSON file.

> **Note:** If you selected a resource to be pulled and it does not exist in the remote console, the CLI will throw an error. For example, if no APIs were created in the remote console, no API Gateway rules will be pulled.

### Overwrite Existing Resources

 If the function or the client directory, or the `catalyst-user-rules.json` file, does not exist in your project's root folder, they will be automatically created before the resources are pulled. However, if a resource is already present in your project folder, the CLI will ask you for confirmation to overwrite the existing file.

 Type **Y** to overwrite the existing files, or **N** to decline, and press **Enter** . If you confirm the overwriting, the pull process will be initiated. If you decline, the pull process will be aborted.
