Versions:
Anchor CLI 0.1.12 is a lightweight, cross-platform command-line toolkit created by Anchor to streamline interaction with the Anchor.dev certificate-management platform. Designed for DevOps engineers, system administrators, and developers who automate public-key infrastructure, the utility exposes a concise set of sub-commands that allow users to request, renew, revoke, and inspect TLS certificates without leaving the terminal. Typical workflows include enrolling new domains, scripting bulk-certificate deployment in CI pipelines, extracting certificate metadata for monitoring dashboards, and rotating expiring certificates on edge servers. Because all operations map directly to Anchor.dev’s REST endpoints, the client eliminates the need to craft raw API calls or manually handle JSON payloads, reducing both development time and the likelihood of mis-configuration. The tool supports credential caching, profile switching, and colored, machine-readable output formats that integrate smoothly with shell scripts, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, and other automation frameworks. Since its initial release, the project has evolved through twenty successive versions, incrementally adding support for wildcard certificates, DNS-01 challenge hooks, and hierarchical account management. The current stable release, 0.1.12, continues the focus on reliability and speed, offering improved error messages and quieter modes for non-interactive environments. Distributed as a single native binary for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Anchor CLI occupies a narrow niche within the Security / SSL-Category while still fitting naturally into broader DevOps toolchains that require programmatic control over certificates. Anchor CLI is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
