Versions:
Chainguard Control, distributed as the command-line utility chainctl, serves system administrators and DevOps teams who need programmable access to the Chainguard platform; the 0.2.99 release, the tenth iterative build since the project’s debut, supplies a text-driven counterpart to the web-based Chainguard Console, enabling unattended scripting of user lifecycle operations, role-based access control adjustments, container image approvals, and OIDC token rotation. Typical use cases include embedding identity provisioning within CI/CD stages, auditing resource permissions across distributed clusters, automating base-image policy checks before production deployment, and rotating short-lived tokens from scheduled cron jobs, all without leaving the terminal. Because every function exposed through the graphical console is mirrored by an equivalent chainctl verb, pipelines can remain fully declarative while still enforcing the supply-chain security model for which Chainguard is known. The tool is classified under Developer Tools / Security and is offered at no cost; it 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.
