It packages Kubernetes inspection and mutation workflows as shell, one-shot CLI, web UI, kubectl plugin, Go API, and operator entry points. ### Project history The GitHub repository was created in November 2023. Its README describes Cyphernetes as a Cypher-inspired query language for Kubernetes, mixing ASCII-art, SQL, and JSONPath ideas so users can express Kubernetes graph operations more directly than with long kubectl pipelines. The repository is organized as a monorepo containing the core parser and engine, the cyphernetes CLI, a web client, docs, and an operator. That layout explains why the Homebrew package is a CLI but the project is broader than a single command. ### Adoption history Official README installation instructions include Homebrew, go install, and release binaries, and the acknowledgments thank contributors for getting the project into Homebrew. That is a small but concrete signal that the project intentionally targeted package-manager distribution. ### How it is used Users run cyphernetes web for a local web client, cyphernetes shell for an interactive shell, cyphernetes query for one-off scripts and CI/CD, kubectl cypher as a plugin, or the operator for dynamic Kubernetes workflows. Queries can match Kubernetes resources, filter them by status fields, return projections, or create related resources such as Services from Deployments. ### Why package nerds care Cyphernetes is package-nerd-interesting because it turns a familiar database query-language style into a Kubernetes CLI. It belongs to the family of kubectl-adjacent tools that trade verbose shell pipelines for a domain language and then ship as one installable binary. ### Timeline - 2023: AvitalTamir/cyphernetes repository created on GitHub. - 2024: Early v0.1 through v0.6 tags appear in the repository tag history. - 2025: v0.18.x releases published and Homebrew installation documented in the official README. ### Related projects - Neo4j Cypher is the named inspiration for the query language. - kubectl is the operational baseline Cyphernetes often replaces or complements. - The Cyphernetes operator extends the query language into Kubernetes workflow automation. ### Sources - - - - - - ## Security Notes infrastructure mutation or orchestration signal. - **Geiger risk:** orange / medium - infrastructure mutation or orchestration signal ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** cyphernetes - **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 - [Cloud CLI packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/cloud-clis/) - Belongs to a cloud or infrastructure command family. - [Secret-risk packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/secret-risk-packages/) - Has protected-tool coverage, approval-gate, or non-low Geiger security signals. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Language runtime packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/language-runtime-packages/) - Matched language runtime, compiler, or interpreter metadata. - [go](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [havener](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/havener/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, kubectl, kubernetes. - [mcp-server-kubernetes](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/mcp-server-kubernetes/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, kubectl, kubernetes. - [cdk8s](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cdk8s/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, kubernetes. - [chaoskube](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/chaoskube/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, kubernetes. - [click](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/click/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, kubernetes. - [cloud-provider-kind](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cloud-provider-kind/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, kubernetes. - [clusterawsadm](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/clusterawsadm/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, kubernetes. - [clusterctl](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/clusterctl/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, kubernetes. - [ktop](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ktop/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
