Overview

JFrog CLI is a compact and smart client that provides a simple interface that automates access to Artifactory and Bintray through their respective REST APIs. By using the JFrog CLI, you can greatly simplify your automation scripts making them more readable and easier to maintain. Several features of the JFrog CLI makes your scripts more efficient and reliable:

• Multi-threaded upload and download of artifacts make builds run faster
• Checksum optimization reduces redundant file transfers
• Wildcards and regular expressions give you an easy way to collect all the artifacts you wish to upload or download.
• "Dry run" gives you a preview of file transfer operations before you actually run them

Download and Installation

You can get the executable directly from the JFrog CLI Download Page, or you can download the source files from this GitHub project and build it yourself.
