Welcome to JFrog CLI
JFrog CLI is a compact and smart client that provides a simple interface that automates access to JFrog products simplifying your automation scripts and making them more readable and easier to maintain. |
JFrog CLI works with JFrog Artifactory, JFrog Mission Control, JFrog Bintray and JFrog Xray (through their respective REST APIs) making your scripts more efficient and reliable in several ways:
Parallel uploads and downloads
JFrog CLI lets you upload and download artifacts concurrently by a configurable number of threads which helps your automated builds run faster. For big artifacts, you can even define a number of chunks into which files should be split for parallel download.
Checksum optimization
JFrog CLI optimizes both upload and download operations by skipping artifacts that already exist in their target location. Before uploading an artifact, JFrog CLI queries Artifactory with the artifact's checksum. If it already exists in Artifactory's storage, the CLI skips sending the file, and, if necessary, Artifactory only updates its database to reflect the artifact upload. Similarly when downloading an artifact from Artifactory. If the artifact already exists in the same download path, it will be skipped. Thanks to checksum optimization, long upload and download operations can be stopped in the middle and then be continued later where they left off.
Wildcards and regular expressions
JFrog CLI supports wildcards and regular expressions giving you an easy way to collect all the artifacts you wish to upload or download.
Upload preview
All upload operations can be used with the --dry-run option to give you a preview of all the files that would be uploaded with the current command.

To use the CLI, place the executable anywhere in your file system and add its location to your PATH environment variable. While the basic command syntax is the same for all products, the available commands may vary depending on which product you are working with.
Syntax
$ jfrog target command-name global-options command-options arguments |
Where:
target | The product on which you wish to execute the command:
|
command-name | The command to execute. Note that you can use either the full command name or its abbreviation. |
global-options | A set of global options specifying the product URL and means of authentication. These may be used for all commands |
command-options | A set of options corresponding to the command |
arguments | A set of arguments corresponding to the command |
Environment Variables
JFrog CLI makes use of the following environment variables:
Variable Name | Description |
JFROG_CLI_LOG_LEVEL | [Default: INFO] This variable determines the log level of the JFrog CLI. |
JFROG_CLI_OFFER_CONFIG | [Default: true] If true, JFrog CLI prompts for product server details and saves them in its config file. To avoid having automation scripts interrupted, set this value to false, and instead, provide product server details using the |
JFROG_CLI_HOME_DIR | [Default: ~/.jfrog] Defines the JFrog CLI home directory. |
JFROG_CLI_TEMP_DIR | [Default: The operating system's temp directory] Defines the temp directory used by JFrog CLI. |
CI | [Default: false] If true, disables interactive prompts and progress bar. |
Proxy Support
JFrog CLI supports using an HTTP/S proxy. All you need to do is set HTTP_PROXY or HTTPS_PROXY environment variable with the proxy URL.
HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY and NO_PROXY are the industry standards for proxy usages.
Variable Name | Description |
HTTP_PROXY | Determines a URL to an HTTP proxy. |
HTTPS_PROXY | Determines a URL to an HTTPS proxy. |
NO_PROXY | Use this variable to bypass the proxy to IP addresses, subnets or domains. This may contain a comma-separated list of hostnames or IPs without protocols and ports. A typical usage may be to set this variable to Artifactory’s IP address. |
Bash and Zsh Auto-Completion
If you're using JFrog CLI from a bash or zsh shells, you can install JFrog CLI's auto-completion scripts.
If you're installing JFrog CLI using Homebrew, the bash auto-complete scripts are automatically installed by Homebrew. Zsh still requires the manual installation as described in this section. Please make sure that your .bash_profile is configured as described in the Homebrew Shell Completion documentation. |
To install auto-completion for bash, run the following command and follow the instructions to complete the installation.
jfrog completion bash |
To install auto-completion for zsh, run the following command and follow the instructions to complete the installation.
jfrog completion zsh |
