It packages the Kubevious rules-and-dashboard lineage into a command suitable for local YAML checks, GitOps validation, CI/CD pipelines, and live-cluster troubleshooting. ### Project history The Kubevious CLI README says the CLI was created from lessons learned in the Kubevious Dashboard project and from the evolution of its rules framework. That origin explains its emphasis on cross-manifest validation rather than checking one YAML file at a time. ### Adoption history The CLI has a smaller footprint than KubeVela or kubespy, but it is distributed through Homebrew, npm, precompiled binaries, Docker, and GitHub Actions Marketplace. Its repository release list shows many 1.0.x releases, which suggests maintenance around Kubernetes schema and rule details. ### How it is used Users run kubevious guard or lint against files, directories, URLs, stdin, Helm charts, Kustomize output, and live-cluster manifests. The tool is meant to catch typos, schema errors, conflicts, inconsistencies, compliance issues, and best-practice violations before changes reach a cluster. ### Why package nerds care Kubevious CLI is package-nerd significant as a validation binary that can sit in pre-commit hooks, CI, and package-manager install paths. It overlaps with kubeval, kubeconform, conftest, Polaris, and kube-score, but its README emphasizes application-centric, cross-manifest validation inherited from the Kubevious dashboard. ### Timeline - 2020: Public Kubevious dashboard material described an application-centric Kubernetes validation and visualization project. - 2023: Kubevious CLI mirror/package metadata described the CLI as the newer standalone validation tool based on the dashboard foundation. - 2025: The GitHub release list showed the v1.0.6x series with fixes and rule/schema changes. ### Related projects - Related projects include Kubevious Dashboard, Kubernetes Dashboard, kubeval, kubeconform, conftest, Polaris, kube-score, Helm, and Kustomize. The CLI is closest to policy and manifest validation tools, but with Kubevious-specific app-centric correlation. ### Sources - - - - - - ## Security Notes infrastructure mutation or orchestration signal. - **Geiger risk:** orange / medium - infrastructure mutation or orchestration signal ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** kubevious - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Related links - [Cloud CLI packages](https://pkg.so/cloud-clis/) - Belongs to a cloud or infrastructure command family. - [Secret-risk packages](https://pkg.so/secret-risk-packages/) - Has protected-tool coverage, approval-gate, or non-low Geiger security signals. - [Terminal utility packages](https://pkg.so/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://pkg.so/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [node](https://pkg.so/brew/node/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [kubernetes-cli](https://pkg.so/brew/kubernetes-cli/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, kubernetes. - [k9s](https://pkg.so/brew/k9s/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, kubernetes. - [k3d](https://pkg.so/brew/k3d/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, kubernetes. - [ctlptl](https://pkg.so/brew/ctlptl/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, kubernetes. - [openshift-cli](https://pkg.so/brew/openshift-cli/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, kubernetes. - [eksctl](https://pkg.so/brew/eksctl/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, kubernetes. - [skaffold](https://pkg.so/brew/skaffold/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, kubernetes. - [cmctl](https://pkg.so/brew/cmctl/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, kubernetes. - [polaris](https://pkg.so/brew/polaris/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
