It exposes New Relic operational workflows from the terminal and automation scripts. ### Project history The CLI lives in newrelic/newrelic-cli and is written in Go. The upstream README describes it as a consolidation point for tools that manage New Relic resources, with early scope around entity search, entity tagging, and deployment markers. The release feed shows rapid patch releases through June 2026, including v0.112.15 on 2026-06-30; Homebrew reported the same stable version on 2026-07-01. ### Adoption history Adoption follows New Relic's SaaS ecosystem rather than a language community. Homebrew analytics reported 641 install-on-request events over 30 days, 1,940 over 90 days, and 6,196 over 365 days, plus small `--HEAD` usage. The README also documents macOS Homebrew, Windows Scoop and Chocolatey, Linux Snap, prebuilt binaries, signed checksums, and an official Docker image, so Homebrew is only one packaging channel. ### How it is used New Relic's docs describe using the CLI to manage entity tags, define workloads, record deployment markers, and automate common DevOps tasks. The getting-started flow includes configuring credentials, searching for an application, creating entity tags, reading tags back, and creating an APM deployment marker with a revision such as `git describe --tags --always`. Package nerds use `newrelic` in local troubleshooting and CI/CD: tag entities after provisioning, mark deployments during release jobs, query account entities, script workload or dashboard-related changes, and avoid direct GraphQL/API plumbing for common operational tasks. ### Why package nerds care newrelic-cli is significant as vendor-supported automation glue. It is not just a convenience wrapper: it is the packaged terminal surface for New Relic workflows that otherwise require the UI or direct API calls. ### Timeline - 2020-01-27: GitHub release feed repository id history indicates the public repository era around early 2020. - 2026-06-03: Release feed shows v0.112.10. - 2026-06-30: Release feed shows v0.112.15. - 2026-07-01: Homebrew formula API reported stable 0.112.15 and 6,196 install-on-request events over 365 days. ### Related projects - New Relic Developer Toolkit is the umbrella context named by upstream. - newrelic-client-go underpins many New Relic API interactions and appears in release dependency updates. - New Relic's official Docker image is another supported distribution path. ### Sources - - - - - - - ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for newrelic-cli.
