Its original center of gravity is remote Docker builds with managed cache and native x86 and Arm builders. ### Project history The depot/cli repository was created in 2021. The README describes the CLI as the official way to build Docker images through Depot's remote builder infrastructure, while the current documentation positions Depot more broadly around container builds, Depot CI, GitHub Actions runners, and an OCI-compatible registry. ### Adoption history Adoption follows teams that already have Docker or GitHub Actions workflows and want faster hosted build machines without changing their Dockerfiles. The README presents Homebrew, an install script, Proto, and GitHub release binaries, making the CLI accessible in local development and CI images. ### How it is used A normal first run is `depot login`, `depot init`, and then `depot build -t repo/image:tag .`. `depot init` links the local directory to a Depot project by writing `depot.json`; build and bake commands can also take a project flag or environment variable for CI use. ### Why package nerds care Package nerds care about Depot CLI because it acts as a drop-in package around buildx-style workflows: the command line looks familiar, but the cache, CPU architecture, and builder lifecycle move to a managed remote service. ### Timeline - 2021: Official depot/cli repository created. - 2022: Depot documentation metadata identifies Depot's founding year. - 2026: Depot docs describe container builds, Depot CI, GitHub Actions runners, and Depot Registry. ### Related projects - Related official surfaces include Depot container builds, Depot CI, Depot GitHub Actions runners, Depot Registry, and the Depot documentation site. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes infrastructure mutation or orchestration signal. - **Geiger risk:** orange / medium - infrastructure mutation or orchestration signal ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
