Its README frames the project around OCI images that are used as data carriers, especially Kubernetes-adjacent images such as operator bundles and Crossplane packages. ### Project history The public GitHub repository was created in July 2022, and the first tagged release, v0.1.0, was published on July 14, 2022. The project intentionally depends on existing Docker and Podman APIs rather than implementing its own container image stack. ### Adoption history dcp is packaged for Homebrew and Nix, which points to a niche but practical audience of developers who need a quick way to inspect or extract files from container images without creating containers by hand. ### How it is used Users run dcp with an image name and optional content and destination flags to copy filesystem content locally. The tool can also pass username and password flags for private images, while its README warns that shell history makes that convenience insecure. ### Why package nerds care For package-manager users, dcp is a tiny example of the post-Docker CLI ecosystem: a focused binary that turns a verbose container-runtime ritual into one command, useful when packages, manifests, or other deployable assets are shipped inside OCI images. ### Timeline - 2022: GitHub repository created - 2022: v0.1.0 release published - 2022: v0.2.1 release published ### Related projects - docker cp, podman, containerd, dive ### Sources - - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** dcp - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Nix - dcp: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/dc/dcp/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Related links - [Cloud CLI packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/cloud-clis/) - Belongs to a cloud or infrastructure command family. - [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. - [Language runtime packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/language-runtime-packages/) - Matched language runtime, compiler, or interpreter metadata. - [rust](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/rust/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [colima](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/colima/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, containers, docker, kubernetes. - [container-canary](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/container-canary/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, containers, docker, kubernetes. - [containerd](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/containerd/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, containers, kubernetes, oci. - [container](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/container/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, containers, oci. - [dtop](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/dtop/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, containers, docker. - [kbld](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/kbld/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, containers, kubernetes. - [ko](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ko/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, containers, kubernetes. - [mintoolkit](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/mintoolkit/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, containers, docker. - [skopeo](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/skopeo/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
