history

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.

Related projects
