The `sui move` command is the primary tool for developing, testing, and interacting with Sui Move smart contracts on the Sui blockchain. It provides functionalities such as compiling Move packages, running unit tests, generating package documentation, building transaction blocks, and inspecting compiled artifacts.

It allows developers to write smart contracts in the Move language, ensuring resource safety and ownership. The command streamlines the development workflow by providing tools to verify code correctness through unit tests and provides options to build and deploy the contracts.

With `sui move`, developers can build, test, and deploy decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts on the Sui blockchain effectively.

Ensure you have the Sui binaries installed and configured correctly. The current directory must be the root of a Sui Move package or `package` option must be supplied.
Sui Move dependencies need to be resolved and available before building or testing.

The `build` subcommand often includes options for specifying the target architecture, optimization level, and output directory. Consult `sui move build --help` for a complete listing.

Compilation errors and test failures will typically result in non-zero exit codes, allowing for integration with automated build systems and CI/CD pipelines.

The `sui move` command was introduced as part of the Sui blockchain platform to provide developers with a dedicated toolset for creating and managing smart contracts written in the Move language. The development of `sui move` is closely tied to the evolution of the Sui blockchain and the Move language itself. Its usage has become integral to building and deploying decentralized applications (dApps) on the Sui network. Early versions focused on basic compilation and testing, while later versions added features like documentation generation and linting.
