Nexus CLI

Build Status

A CLI wrapper around Sonatype Nexus REST calls.

Requirements

  • Ruby

Installation

  1. Install the Gem - gem install nexus_cli
  2. Create a file in your user's home directory named .nexus_cli
  3. Give the file the following information:
url: 			"http://my-nexus-server/nexus/"
repository:		"my-repository-id"
username: 		"username"
password: 		"password"

You can also omit the username and password to create an anonymous session with the Nexus server. Keep in mind that an anonymous session may have different permissions than an authenticated one, depending on your Nexus server configuration.

Usage

There are a few calls that can be made. The most important are push_artifact and pull_artifact. Both calls will push or pull artifacts from Nexus using the Maven Co-ordinates syntax: groupId:artifactId:version (default extension is jar) or groupId:artifactId:extension:version or groupId:artifactId:extension:classifier:version

One can also search for artifacts and get back raw xml containing matches.

Each command can be prefaced with help to get more information about the command. For example - nexus-cli help get_users

There are also two global config options, --overrides which overrides the configruation in ~/.nexus_cli and --ssl-verify false which turns off SSL verification.
