Nexus CLI

:round_pushpin: This project is in its early stages of development and configuration.

Overview

nexus is a command line tool used to interact with Nexus IQ and Nexus Repository Manager. Our intention is that it will help expand on functionality currently available in the existing Java based Nexus IQ CLI. Every effort has been made to ensure the commands and flags exposed are clear, understandable, and unambiguous.

We've written this utility in go so it can be compiled for multiple platforms and doesn't require any special runtime. This is especially important for integration with other tools or shell stages in a pipeline.

Uses

The following scenarios are but a few examples of what can be done with this CLI:

• Writing infrastructure code to automatically install licenses
• Managing users and groups
• Managing components in Nexus Repository Manager
• Scanning artifacts for known vulnerabilities from a command line
• More!
