Summary

Since its introduction, JFrog CLI has gained significant popularity in the CI community due to its simplicity, native execution, and network efficiency, allowing seamless integration with JFrog products without relying on other tools. Initially praised for its intuitive use, the CLI's latest release, version 1.5, introduces File Specs, a feature that enables users to execute multiple tasks with a single command by defining JSON file specifications. This allows for complex file operations like downloading, uploading, and moving files to different locations based on defined patterns while maintaining efficiency through parallel execution. File Specs also offer the advantage of version control by being text files that can be stored in source control systems and provide flexibility through the use of Artifactory Query Language (AQL) for complex file manipulation. Additionally, JFrog CLI now supports the provision of build information, enhancing traceability across different build tools.
