Project history and usage
Brigade CLI, distributed as `brig`, is the command-line client for Brigade, an event-driven scripting platform built on Kubernetes. It belongs to the Kubernetes-native CI/CD and workflow-automation wave of the late 2010s.
Project history
Brigade's repository was created in October 2017 and early v0.x releases followed in November and December 2017. The project described itself as event-driven scripting for Kubernetes, abstracting cluster details so users could react to events with scripted workflows.
The v2 documentation separates Brigade 2 from legacy Brigade 1.x and documents the `brig` CLI as the route to supported user interactions: login, project initialization, event creation, project management, and log inspection. The README also describes an ecosystem of gateways, event sources, metrics, and SDKs.
By 2022 Brigade had reached v2.6.0, and the CNCF TOC merged a proposal to archive the project in September 2022. The official Brigade docs now carry an archived-project banner while preserving the v2 documentation.
Adoption history
Brigade had meaningful visibility in the Kubernetes ecosystem, with thousands of GitHub stars and packaging across Homebrew, Debian/Ubuntu, and Nix according to the input package facts. Its adoption was tied to teams experimenting with Kubernetes-native automation before GitHub Actions and other hosted CI systems became dominant defaults.
Current package activity is modest: Homebrew analytics reported low hundreds of installs over the prior year at lookup time, consistent with an archived project that remains packaged for existing users and historical reproducibility.
How it is used
`brig` is used to log into a Brigade instance, initialize projects, create or manage events, inspect projects, and view worker or job logs. Installation docs offer Homebrew on macOS and direct binary downloads on Linux and Windows.
Why package nerds care
Brigade CLI is significant because it packages the client side of an ambitious Kubernetes-native automation system. It is also a useful historical marker: a CNCF-era project that reached broad enough distribution for multiple package managers, then moved into archived status while retaining docs and install artifacts.
