Its README has grown from a scanner guide into a broader command-line manual covering authentication, configuration, pre-commit and pre-push hooks, repository and path scans, SBOM reports, and an experimental MCP server. ### Adoption history Official installation paths include PyPI, Homebrew, and GitHub Releases, which lets teams choose between Python packaging, macOS package management, and standalone executables. The README also documents pre-commit integration, making the CLI part of developer workflow rather than only a central CI scanner. ### How it is used Users authenticate with cycode auth, cycode configure, or environment variables, then run scans over repositories, paths, commit history, pre-commit, or pre-push contexts. The CLI stores global credentials and URLs under the user's .cycode directory and local ignore rules in .cycode/config.yaml where scans are run. ### Why package nerds care For package maintainers, Cycode CLI is a security SaaS client with real local state: packaging needs to expose the cycode executable cleanly while leaving credentials, service URLs, and ignore-rule config in user- or project-owned YAML files. ### Timeline - 2022: Repository created and early 0.1.x releases published. - 2023: 0.2.x releases continued the CLI line. - 2026: 3.x releases remained active with scanner and workflow features documented in the README. ### Related projects - The CLI integrates with pre-commit and with Cycode's hosted service through client credentials, OIDC tokens, and Cycode API and app URLs. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for cycode. Nucleus package metadata is still published here so future coverage has a stable package URL. ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials. Automic Vault can use them as review targets for secret scanning, migration, and command approval. ## Configuration files - Unix: ~/.cycode/config.yaml, ./.cycode/config.yaml ## Credential files - Unix: ~/.cycode/credentials.yaml ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** cycode - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [Security and crypto packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/security-crypto-tools/) - Matched security, identity, cryptography, password, signing, or certificate metadata. - [python@3.14](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/python-3-14/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [ggshield](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ggshield/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, devsecops, secrets-scanning, security. - [gotestwaf](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gotestwaf/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: application-security, cli, security. - [intercept](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/intercept/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, devsecops, sast, security. - [sqlmap](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/sqlmap/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: application-security, cli, security. - [bomber](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/bomber/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, devsecops, security. - [cdxgen](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cdxgen/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, sca, security. - [chainloop-cli](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/chainloop-cli/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, devsecops, security. - [detect-secrets](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/detect-secrets/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, devsecops, security. - [snyk-agent-scan](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/snyk-agent-scan/) - Both packages touch the same language runtime or ecosystem.
