About:
The tektoncd-cli is a command-line interface that allows developers to create, manage, and interact with Tekton pipelines directly from their terminal. It streamlines the workflow for cloud-native CI/CD by enabling the execution of tasks and pipelines without leaving the command line. This tool is essential for automating build, test, and deployment processes within Kubernetes environments.
Key Features:
  • Create and manage pipelines and tasks via CLI
  • Real-time logging and output streaming
  • Pipeline execution triggers and monitoring
  • Resource management for Tekton CRDs
Use Cases:
  • Automating CI/CD workflows in Kubernetes clusters
  • Debugging pipeline runs locally or in remote clusters
  • Integrating Tekton pipelines into existing developer scripts
Alternatives:
  • kubectl – Generic Kubernetes CLI; requires manual CRD management, whereas tektoncd-cli provides specific workflow abstractions.
  • argo-workflows-cli – Alternative workflow engine; Argo is more general-purpose, while Tekton focuses specifically on Kubernetes-native CI/CD.
