history
Project history and usage
regclient is a Go-based library and toolkit for manipulating, copying, inspecting, and automating content in Docker and OCI registries.
Project history
regclient developed as a Go library and command suite for working directly with Docker and OCI registries. Its principal tools are regctl for registry operations, regsync for image synchronization, and regbot for scripted registry automation.
Adoption history
The project distributes regctl, regsync, and regbot through native binaries, container images, Homebrew, MacPorts, Scoop, RPM, Snap, Wolfi, and other community-maintained channels.
How it is used
Users employ regctl for inspecting and modifying manifests, tags, and blobs; regsync for declarative synchronization between registries; and regbot for automated registry workflows. regctl loads its default configuration from $HOME/.regctl/config.json and supports overriding that path with REGCTL_CONFIG.
Why package nerds care
regclient offers registry-focused workflows without requiring the Docker daemon, making it useful in scripts, CI systems, image promotion pipelines, and package-maintenance automation.
