Mender CLI
========================

Mender is an open source over-the-air (OTA) software updater for embedded Linux
devices. Mender comprises a client running at the embedded device, as well as
a server that manages deployments across many devices.

This repository contains a standalone tool that makes it much easier to work
with the [Mender server management APIs](https://docs.mender.io/apis/management-apis).

The goal with `mender-cli` is to simplify integration between the Mender server
and cloud services like continuous integration (CI)/build automation.

Over time `mender-cli` will be extended to simplify the most common use cases
for integrating the Mender server into other backend and cloud systems.
