JFrog CLI is a compact and smart client that provides a simple interface that automates access to Artifactory and Mission Control through their respective REST APIs. By using the JFrog CLI, you can greatly simplify your automation scripts making them more readable and easier to maintain. Several features of the JFrog CLI makes your scripts more efficient and reliable:

• Multi-threaded upload and download of artifacts make builds run faster
• Checksum optimization reduces redundant file transfers
• Wildcards and regular expressions give you an easy way to collect all the artifacts you wish to upload or download.
• "Dry run" gives you a preview of file transfer operations before you actually run them

You can either install JFrog CLI using one of the supported installers or download its executable directly. Visit the Install JFrog CLI Page for details.

JFrog CLI is written in the Go programming language, so to build the CLI yourself, you first need to have Go installed and configured on your machine.

To download and install Go, please refer to the Go documentation. Please download Go 1.14.x or above.

Navigate to a directory where you want to create the jfrog-cli project, outside the $GOPATH tree.

If the GOPATH variable is unset, it's default value is the go folder under the user home.

Verify that the GO111MODULE variable is either unset, or explicitly set to auto.

Clone the jfrog-cli project by executing the following command:

git clone https://github.com/jfrog/jfrog-cli

Build the project by navigating to the jfrog folder and executing the following commands. On Unix based systems run:

cd jfrog-cli
build/build.sh

On Windows run:

cd jfrog-cli
build\build.bat

Once completed, you will find the JFrog CLI executable at your current directory.

go test -v github.com/jfrog/jfrog-cli [test-types] [flags]

The flags are:

The types are:

• Running the tests will create builds and repositories with timestamps, for example: cli-rt1-1592990748 and cli-rt2-1592990748.
  Once the tests are completed, the content of these repositories will be deleted.

In addition to general optional flags you can use the following optional artifactory flags.

To run artifactory tests execute the following command.

go test -v github.com/jfrog/jfrog-cli -test.artifactory [flags]

• The npm executables should be included as part of the PATH environment variable.
• The tests are compatible with npm 7 and higher.

• Currently, npm integration support only http(s) connections to Artifactory using username and password.

To run npm tests execute the following command.

go test -v github.com/jfrog/jfrog-cli -test.npm [flags]

• The java executable should be included as part of the PATH environment variable. Alternatively, set the JAVA_HOME environment variable.

• Currently, maven integration support only http(s) connections to Artifactory using username and password.

To run maven tests execute the following command.

go test -v github.com/jfrog/jfrog-cli -test.maven [flags]

• The gradle executables should be included as part of the PATH environment variable.
• The java executable should be included as part of the PATH environment variable. Alternatively, set the JAVA_HOME environment variable.

• Currently, gradle integration support only http(s) connections to Artifactory using username and password.

To run gradle tests execute the following command.

go test -v github.com/jfrog/jfrog-cli -test.gradle [flags]

In addition to general optional flags you must use the following docker flags.

• On Linux machines, Podman tests will be running, so make sure it's available in the local path.

To run docker tests execute the following command (fill out the missing parameters as described below).

go test -v github.com/jfrog/jfrog-cli -test.docker -rt.dockerRepoDomain=DOCKER_DOMAIN -rt.DockerLocalRepo=DOCKER_LOCAL_REPO [flags]

• The tests are compatible with Artifactory 6.10 and higher.
• To run go tests run the following command:

go test -v github.com/jfrog/jfrog-cli -test.go [flags]

• Add NuGet executable to the system search path (PATH environment variable).
• Run the following command:

go test -v github.com/jfrog/jfrog-cli -test.nuget [flags]

• Add Python and pip executables to the system search path (PATH environment variable).
• Run the following command:

go test -v github.com/jfrog/jfrog-cli -test.pip [flags]

To run Plugins tests execute the following command:

go test -v github.com/jfrog/jfrog-cli -test.plugins

To run Distribution tests execute the following command:

go test -v github.com/jfrog/jfrog-cli -test.distribution [flags]

To run Xray tests execute the following command:

We welcome code contributions through pull requests from the community.

• If the existing tests do not already cover your changes, please add tests..
• Pull requests should be created on the dev branch.
• Please use gofmt for formatting the code before submitting the pull request.

JFrog CLI can be used for a variety of functions with Artifactory, Xray and Mission Control, and has a dedicated set of commands for each product. To learn how to use JFrog CLI, please visit the JFrog CLI User Guide.

JFrog CLI plugins support enhancing the functionality of JFrog CLI to meet the specific user and organization needs. The source code of a plugin is maintained as an open source Go project on GitHub. All public plugins are registered in JFrog CLI's Plugins Registry, which is hosted in the jfrog-cli-plugins-reg GitHub repository. We encourage you, as developers, to create plugins and share them publically with the rest of the community. Read more about this in the JFrog CLI Plugin Developer Guide.
