Type: Formula | Latest Version: 1.22.0@1 | Tracked Since: Dec 19, 2025

Category: Developer tools

Tags: cli build-system opensuse packaging developer-tools

Install: brew install osc

About:
The Open Build Service (OBS) command-line interface (osc) is a powerful tool for developers interacting with OBS instances. It enables users to manage packages, build configurations, and repositories directly from the terminal, streamlining the development and packaging workflow for Linux distributions.

Key Features:

Full CRUD operations for packages, projects, and build configurations
Integration with local build environments via `osc build`
Support for branching, submitting requests, and diffing changes
Plugin architecture for extending functionality

Use Cases:

Submitting patches or new packages to openSUSE or other OBS-based distributions
Automating package builds and repository maintenance in CI/CD pipelines
Comparing package versions and managing build dependencies locally

Alternatives:

dnf – Standard package manager for Fedora/RHEL; focuses on installation rather than build service interaction.
apt – Debian/Ubuntu package manager; lacks native integration with OBS workflows.
