Summary

With the release of GitHub Actions version 2, users can now incorporate the JFrog CLI into their workflows to manage Artifactory repositories, facilitating the automation of DevOps processes such as build, test, and release stages. This integration is achieved through the new Setup JFrog CLI Action, which simplifies issuing JFrog CLI commands by automatically handling build-related options and arguments. To connect with Artifactory servers securely, users are advised to store access tokens as encrypted secrets in GitHub, allowing the Action to access them without exposing sensitive information. The transition from HCL to a YAML-based description language in GitHub Actions version 2 enhances usability, and the GitHub Marketplace now offers a variety of Actions, including those for Artifactory, thereby broadening the automation capabilities available to developers. The JFrog CLI Action aims to ease Artifactory automation in GitHub workflows, encouraging community contributions for further improvements via pull requests.
