Background

If you've been following the DevOps Toolkit project, you know how it simplifies the management of multiple DevOps tools in a containerized environment. We've continuously improved the toolkit, from its initial release to the recent addition of Configuration Reusability. Today, I'm excited to introduce our latest feature: the DevOps Toolkit CLI.

The DevOps Toolkit CLI

The DevOps Toolkit CLI is a powerful new tool designed to enhance your experience with the DevOps Toolkit. It provides a streamlined interface for managing your DevOps Toolkit containers, making it easier than ever to initialize, run, update, and clean up your DevOps environments.

Key Features of DevOps Toolkit CLI

1. Multi-Container Management: Initialize and manage multiple DevOps Toolkit containers, each with its own configuration.
2. Easy Initialization: Quickly set up new DevOps Toolkit containers with a single command.
3. Efficient Updates: Update your containers to the latest DevOps Toolkit image with ease.
4. Streamlined Execution: Run commands in your containers without having to manually attach to them.
5. Simple Cleanup: Remove individual containers or clean up all DevOps Toolkit containers at once.
