## Project history and usage

LaunchDarkly CLI, distributed as ldcli, is LaunchDarkly's official command-line tool for creating, authenticating, and managing LaunchDarkly resources from a terminal.

### Project history

LaunchDarkly publishes ldcli from the launchdarkly GitHub organization under the Apache-2.0 license and documents it from the LaunchDarkly product documentation site.

The public release tag history includes v0.0.1 in March 2024 and a 3.x release line after the early 0.x series, indicating a relatively recent CLI compared with older LaunchDarkly SDKs and support tools.

### Adoption history

Adoption is concentrated among LaunchDarkly customers and automation workflows rather than the broader open-source CLI audience. Homebrew packaging makes it convenient for macOS developers and CI jobs that provision tools through Brew.

### How it is used

The CLI is used to authenticate with LaunchDarkly and manage feature-flag-related resources from scripts or terminals. The curated configuration and credential path points to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/ldcli/config.yml.

### Why package nerds care

ldcli is a representative SaaS vendor CLI: small in package-manager terms, but important because it moves product administration into repeatable shell workflows.

### Timeline

- 2024-03: Public v0.0.1 release tag appears in the LaunchDarkly ldcli repository.
- 2024: The early 0.x release sequence adds the initial Homebrew-distributed command-line workflow.
- 2020s: A 3.x release line appears in the same public repository.
