history
Project history and usage
Kosli CLI is the command-line client for recording and querying software delivery events in Kosli. Its history is tied to the rise of audit trails, deployment attestations, and continuous-compliance tooling in CI/CD pipelines.
Project history
The GitHub repository was created on 2021-04-13. Release metadata shows v0.1.0 published on 2021-04-29, followed by a fast early cadence through v0.3.0 on 2021-08-19 and a long 2.x series by 2026.
The official README describes the repository as containing the Kosli CLI for recording and querying software delivery events to Kosli. The official install documentation lists package managers, pre-built binaries, Docker images, and source builds as supported installation paths.
Adoption history
Kosli CLI adoption is primarily tied to Kosli users rather than broad general-purpose developer-tool adoption. Homebrew packaging matters because CI/CD and DevOps teams often install such CLIs on laptops, build runners, and scripts without checking out source code.
GitHub repository metadata observed on 2026-07-01 reported 15 stars and 7 forks, so the public open-source footprint is modest even though the CLI is central to Kosli's product workflow.
How it is used
Users run `kosli` commands to report compliance and delivery events, query trails, and integrate Kosli with pipelines. Configuration and credentials can be supplied through Kosli config files such as `kosli.yaml`, `kosli.yml`, `kosli.json`, or `kosli.toml`.
The CLI is most relevant in automated delivery systems where build, artifact, pull-request, and deployment events need to be linked into an auditable trail.
Why package nerds care
Kosli CLI is package-nerd significant as an example of a SaaS workflow becoming a first-class package-manager formula: the service is external, but the reproducible local command is what users install, pin, and automate.
It also reflects the wider move from CI scripts that only build and deploy toward CLIs that produce attestations, evidence, and compliance records.
