Summary

JFrog has introduced a new, streamlined method for developers to start using the JFrog DevOps Platform, focusing on ease of use through command line interfaces and integrated development environments (IDEs). Developers can quickly set up a free JFrog cloud account and install the JFrog CLI to access Artifactory, a leading repository manager, and Xray, a tool for software composition analysis that identifies open source vulnerabilities. The setup process is designed to be completed in under five minutes using a single command on Mac, Linux, or Windows. Once set up, developers can initialize their projects to utilize JFrog's features directly from the terminal, such as auditing code for security vulnerabilities and integrating security visibility into IDEs like VS Code and IntelliJ IDEA. Additionally, the JFrog CLI facilitates building and deploying projects, collecting build information, and publishing it to Artifactory, with support for various package managers like Maven, npm, Gradle, pip, and Golang. JFrog aims to simplify the setup process to encourage developers to leverage the platform's capabilities to enhance development efficiency and security, inviting broader adoption within development teams.
