## Project history and usage

Source-to-Image, commonly `s2i`, is OpenShift's CLI and workflow for building reproducible container images by injecting application source into builder images rather than requiring every application repository to carry its own Dockerfile.

### Project history

The GitHub repository was created in January 2014. Public releases show a 0.1 release in January 2015, a 1.0 release in June 2015, and continuing maintenance through the 1.x series.

The README frames S2I as both a toolkit and workflow. Its design centers on builder images with standard scripts such as `assemble`, `run`, optional `save-artifacts`, and optional `usage`, plus source-side files like `.s2iignore` and `.s2i/environment`.

### Adoption history

S2I is tied to OpenShift's application-build model and has been packaged for Homebrew and Fedora/DNF according to the input package metadata. Its README documents installation via Go, Homebrew, downloadable releases, and platform-specific binaries.

### How it is used

The canonical workflow is `s2i build <source location> <builder image> [tag]`, followed by running the produced container image. The CLI also includes commands such as `create`, `rebuild`, `generate`, `usage`, `version`, and `help`.

### Why package nerds care

Package nerds care because S2I sits at the boundary between language packaging, container image construction, and platform policy. It encodes buildpacks-like conventions in simple executable scripts while still producing ordinary container images.

### Timeline

- 2014: OpenShift source-to-image repository created.
- 2015: v0.1 public release published in January.
- 2015: v1.0 public release published in June.
- 2025: v1.5.0 release updated build containers and Docker dependencies.
- 2026: v1.6.x releases continued dependency and image maintenance.

### Related projects

- OpenShift uses S2I as part of its source-to-container build workflow.
- Builder images provide the `assemble`, `run`, `save-artifacts`, and `usage` scripts consumed by the `s2i` CLI.
