## 安装

```sh
sudo av install brew:buf
```

## 代理安全回答

buf manages protobuf linting, generation, and registry workflows.

- **凭据访问:** Reads registry tokens, environment variables, and project schema files.
- **远程变更:** Can push modules and interact with remote schema registries.
- **发布/制品风险:** Can publish schema modules and generated artifacts.
- **推荐控制:** Gate push, registry login, and token-backed commands.
- **代理使用指南:** Allow lint/generate; require approval for registry writes and token use.

## 项目历史与用法

Buf is a modern Protocol Buffers toolchain centered on the `buf` CLI, replacing many direct `protoc` workflows with module-aware builds, linting, breaking-change detection, formatting, code generation, dependency management, API calls, and access to the Buf Schema Registry.

### 项目历史

Buf was created by Buf Technologies as a developer-tooling layer for Protobuf projects. Its public repository presents it as a modern toolchain for Protobuf rather than a replacement for the schema language itself: it keeps the plugin model familiar to `protoc` users while adding workspace configuration, deterministic checks, and registry-aware workflows.

The project grew beyond a formatter or wrapper into a broader ecosystem: the CLI, Buf Schema Registry, remote plugins, generated SDKs, ConnectRPC, Protobuf-ES, and Protovalidate are all positioned by Buf as related pieces of schema-driven API infrastructure.

### 采用历史

Buf adoption followed the pain points of larger Protobuf users: teams wanted one repeatable command for compiling, linting, compatibility checks, and generation instead of per-repository shell scripts around `protoc -I` paths. The CLI is distributed through Homebrew, npm, Docker, Windows installers, binary downloads, tarballs, source builds, and other package managers listed in the input.

Registry features widened its role from local CLI tooling to organization-level schema governance. The Buf Schema Registry stores modules, renders documentation, resolves dependencies, hosts remote plugins, produces generated SDKs, and can enforce schema checks for teams that publish APIs there.

### 使用方式

Typical CLI use starts with `buf config init`, then `buf build`, `buf format -w`, `buf lint`, `buf breaking --against ...`, and `buf generate`. Projects commonly check in `buf.yaml`, `buf.gen.yaml`, and `buf.lock` so CI and developer laptops run the same Protobuf workflow.

Core CLI features work without a Buf Schema Registry account, while signing in adds private module dependency resolution, remote plugins, generated SDKs, hosted documentation, and server-side checks.

### 为什么软件包爱好者会关心

Buf matters to package-tooling people because it treats `.proto` files as versioned modules instead of loose source files copied between repos. It brings package-lock and registry patterns familiar from language ecosystems into Protobuf schema distribution.

It is also a notable example of a package manager formula that installs not only the main `buf` binary but companion protoc plugins, making Homebrew a convenient entry point for Protobuf linting and compatibility checks.

### 时间线

- 2020: Early public Buf releases established the CLI around Protobuf build, lint, breaking-change, and generation workflows.
- 2021: Buf reached a stable v1 line and documented a no-breaking-changes-within-major-version CLI policy.
- 2020s: The project expanded around the Buf Schema Registry, remote plugins, generated SDKs, ConnectRPC, Protobuf-ES, and Protovalidate.

### Related projects

- `protoc` is the historical compiler that Buf augments for day-to-day Protobuf workflows.
- The Buf Schema Registry is the hosted registry used for modules, documentation, remote plugins, generated SDKs, and schema checks.
- ConnectRPC, Protobuf-ES, and Protovalidate are related Buf ecosystem projects named by the official README.
