minder

minder 0.1.2, released by mindersec, is a lightweight command-line client engineered to interface with the Minder platform, placing it in the Developer-Tools category. The utility exposes a concise set of sub-commands that let operators create, update, delete, and list profiles, rules, and entities stored in the remote service, making it suitable for automated CI pipelines, local development checks, and ad-hoc policy audits. Because all communication is routed through Minder’s public REST and gRPC endpoints, the tool can be dropped into GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or any shell script that needs to verify repository settings, branch protections, artifact signatures, or dependency vulnerabilities without opening a browser. Credentials are read from environment variables or standard credential helpers, so secrets never have to be hard-coded, while JSON and YAML output formats simplify integration with jq, yq, or higher-level orchestration frameworks. The project maintains fifteen incremental releases, each tagged and published as signed binaries for Windows, macOS, and Linux; the rapid cadence ensures that new rule types, provider integrations, and authentication flows reach users within days of being merged. Version 0.1.2 specifically refines error reporting, normalizes exit codes, and adds completion scripts for PowerShell and zsh, reducing friction for platform engineers who manage fleets of repositories. The standalone executable has no runtime dependencies beyond a TLS-capable network stack, so it can be baked into slim container images or run on locked-down build nodes. minder 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.
