It lets shell scripts and terminal users push messages to a Gotify server without writing raw HTTP requests. ### Project history The gotify/server repository began in January 2018 and published its initial 1.0.0 release in February 2018. The gotify/cli repository followed in November 2018, with v1.2.0 published days later, giving the Gotify ecosystem a dedicated terminal client. The CLI README describes a focused feature set: storing the server URL and application token in a config file, an initialization wizard, piping support, simple push commands, and a watch command that sends notifications when command output changes. ### Adoption history Gotify-CLI adoption follows the self-hosted-notification audience for gotify/server. The README documents manual binary installation, Arch AUR packaging, and Homebrew installation, while also noting that curl or HTTPie can push messages directly for users who do not need the dedicated client. ### How it is used Users initialize the CLI with gotify init, then send messages with gotify push, pipe standard input into push, or use gotify watch around another command. The config stores the Gotify URL and an application token, so scripts can push notifications without repeating credentials on every command line. Release notes show maintenance around operational details such as dependency updates, environment-token overrides, and TLS trust configuration. That fits the CLI's role in scripts, cron jobs, and local monitoring workflows where reliability and noninteractive operation matter. ### Why package nerds care For package nerds, Gotify-CLI is a tidy example of a self-hosted service exposing a first-party CLI while still keeping the HTTP API simple enough for curl. Its package value is convenience, credential storage, and script ergonomics rather than protocol exclusivity. ### Timeline - 2018: gotify/server repository created. - 2018: gotify/server v1.0.0 released. - 2018: gotify/cli repository created and v1.2.0 released. - 2019: gotify/cli v2.0.0 and v2.1.x releases published. - 2023: v2.2.3 added GOTIFY_TOKEN override support and fixed a no-config push panic. - 2024: v2.3.2 added SSL_CERT_FILE support for TLS verification. ### Related projects - gotify/server is the required backend service for Gotify-CLI. - curl and HTTPie are documented alternatives for direct HTTP message submission. ### Sources - - - - - ## Security Notes broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. - **Geiger risk:** blue / medium - broad file, network, media, or database tool signal ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
