  (Asked by: username_0 on 2018-08-10)
  
  I was looking for a way to clear the “template caches” and “compiled templates” from the CLI, as I want to automatically do this after every auto-deploy of the site I've created.
  
  For this I was looking into the `craft` binary and its `cache/list` command. However, when running `./craft cache/list` it only returns me `cache (yii\caching\FileCache)`.
  
  This felt kind of strange to me, as I was expecting a list similar to the one to be seen in the admin at the URL `/admin/utilities/clear-caches`:
  
  [![List of possible caches, as shown in the admin](https://i.sstatic.net/9Za0X.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/9Za0X.png)
  
  So hereby I'm wondering if it's possible to clear any of these caches show above from the CLI. Or is the `cache/clear` command for something else that I'm not aware of?
