coprcli

Coprcli is a command-line interface for COPR, the Fedora community build service that allows users to create and manage personal package repositories with automated builds. It provides a terminal-based way to interact with COPR without using a web browser.

The tool communicates with COPR through its REST API and supports common tasks such as creating a COPR project, uploading source packages or sources, submitting builds for selected distributions and architectures, and monitoring progress. Users can access build logs, retrieve results, and manage their projects and builds, including listing, filtering, and canceling builds as needed.

Installation and authentication are straightforward: coprcli is distributed as a Python package and can be installed via standard packaging tools, for example by installing the copr-cli package. After installation, users authenticate to their COPR account, typically by configuring an API token or logging in, which grants access to their projects and builds.

A typical workflow involves creating or selecting a COPR project, providing the source package, initiating a build for desired targets, and monitoring the build status until completion. Coprcli is designed to work with the public COPR service as well as private COPR deployments, depending on how the server URL and credentials are configured.

Coprcli is part of the broader COPR ecosystem used within the Fedora and Red Hat communities to test and distribute packages outside of official distributions. See also COPR, Fedora, and related package build tooling.
