SYNOPSIS

jfrog command [subcommand] [options] [arguments]

jfrog is the official CLI for the JFrog Platform. It provides unified command-line access to Artifactory, Xray, Distribution, Pipelines, and other JFrog services.
The tool manages binary artifacts across all major package types including Maven, npm, PyPI, Docker, Go, NuGet, and generic files. It integrates with CI/CD pipelines for build-info collection, promotion, and security scanning. The CLI supports file specs (JSON-based query syntax) for advanced artifact operations.
The jfrog executable has been renamed to jf in recent versions, though the jfrog name continues to work as an alias.

docker

CAVEATS

Requires a JFrog server (self-hosted or SaaS). Enterprise features such as Xray scanning require appropriate licensing. Server configuration is stored locally per user and must be set up before use with jfrog config add.

HISTORY

JFrog CLI was created by JFrog to provide unified command-line access to their artifact management platform. The CLI executable was renamed from jfrog to jf starting in 2022, though both names remain functional.
