octez-client gen keys alias

• Get the balance of an account by alias or address:

octez-client get balance for alias_or_address

• Transfer tez to a different account:

octez-client transfer 5 from alias|address to alias|address

• Originate (deploy) a smart contract, assign it a local alias, and set its initial storage as a Michelson-encoded value:

octez-client originate contract alias transferring 0 from alias|address running path/to/source_file.tz --init "initial_storage" --burn_cap 1

• Call a smart contract by its alias or address and pass a Michelson-encoded parameter:
