## Projektgeschichte und Nutzung

mender-cli is a general-purpose command-line client for the Mender backend. The project README states its goal directly: simplify integration between the Mender server and cloud services such as CI and build automation, then expand toward common backend integration use cases. It belongs beside mender-artifact in the Mender workstation-tool set: mender-artifact prepares update files, while mender-cli talks to the server-side APIs and operational features.

### Projektgeschichte

The release notes show a tool that broadened from authentication and configuration plumbing into more operational workflows. Version 1.2.0 stored login tokens in the XDG cache directory in 2019; 1.3.0 added macOS binary publication; 1.4.0 added two-factor login support; 1.5.0 added configuration-file lookup and shell completion; 1.6.0 added artifact listing and remote terminal access; later 1.8.x and 1.9.x entries added artifact deletion, raw device-list output, troubleshoot improvements, port-forward reliability work, and personal-access-token/JWT support.

### Wie es verwendet wird

In practice, teams use mender-cli in scripts and CI jobs to authenticate to hosted or self-hosted Mender, list and manage artifacts, interact with devices, and automate deployment-adjacent server tasks. Its configuration-file locations and credential options make it a package-manager-facing CLI rather than a library dependency.
