Truestamp CLI

A Truestamp Command Line Interface (CLI), written in Typescript, that utilizes the @truestamp/client library to communicate with the Truestamp API.

This CLI is built using Deno. Platform support is determined by the set that Deno [currently supports](https://deno.land/manual@v1.29.1/tools/compiler for cross-compilation.

Deno creates a single-file binary that makes download and installation easy. The binaries have no pre-requisites that need to be installed ahead of time.

Install

For manual installation please be sure to specify the current stable release version in the release URL for pre-compiled binaries. Version v0.0.0 is used in these examples and must be replaced. The latest stable release versions can be found on the releases page.

macOS

If you are using macOS it is recommended you install the client using Homebrew.

Homebrew install

This is the recommended installation method for macOS. Please see the instructions for installation using the truestamp/homebrew-tap.

Manual install - Apple macOS Intel x86 Macs

Download and install the darwin platform x86 arch .tar.gz file for your chosen release version.

Example:

wget -q https://github.com/truestamp/truestamp-cli/releases/download/v0.0.0/truestamp-darwin-x86_64.tar.gz

# unpack the `truestamp` binary for your system arch
tar -zxvf truestamp-darwin-x86_64.tar.gz

# assuming /usr/local/bin exists and is on your $PATH
mv ./truestamp /usr/local/bin

# Add this single file to the macOS Gatekeeper allow list
spctl --add  /usr/local/bin/truestamp

Manual install - Apple Silicon Macs

Download and install the darwin platform aarch64 arch .tar.gz file for your chosen release version.

Example:

wget -q https://github.com/truestamp/truestamp-cli/releases/download/v0.0.0/truestamp-darwin-aarch64.tar.gz

# unpack the `truestamp` binary for your system arch
tar -zxvf truestamp-darwin-aarch64.tar.gz

# assuming /usr/local/bin exists and is on your $PATH
mv ./truestamp /usr/local/bin

# Add this single file to the macOS Gatekeeper allow list
spctl --add  /usr/local/bin/truestamp

Manual install - Linux x86 64 bit [EXPERIMENTAL]

Download and install the linux platform x86_64 arch .tar.gz file for your chosen release version.

wget -q https://github.com/truestamp/truestamp-cli/releases/download/v0.0.0/truestamp-linux-x86_64.tar.gz

# unpack the `truestamp` binary for your system arch
tar -zxvf truestamp-linux-x86_64.tar.gz

# assuming /usr/local/bin exists and is on your $PATH
mv ./truestamp /usr/local/bin

Manual install - Windows x86 64 bit [EXPERIMENTAL]

Download and install the windows platform .zip file for your chosen release version.

# PowerShell (Replace v0.0.0 in path with appropriate version)

Invoke-WebRequest -OutFile truestamp-windows-x86_64.zip https://github.com/truestamp/truestamp-cli/releases/download/v0.0.0/truestamp-windows-x86_64.zip

# Expand-Archive -LiteralPath <PathToZipFile> -DestinationPath <PathToDestination>
Expand-Archive -LiteralPath truestamp-windows-x86_64.zip

# You should now have a `truestamp.exe` file that can be run in a command shell
truestamp -h

Usage

The CLI has its own help system and every command and sub-command can be invoked with -h, --help, or simply help to learn more. The help for each command also provides usage examples.

truestamp --help
truestamp items --help
truestamp items create --help

Build and Release

For developers who want to build their own copy of the CLI.

Additional task are available in the deno.json.

Local

deno task build-local

Shared

All new commits to main will trigger a pre-release build of all binary assets and store them in a new Github release tagged with latest.

Steps for a public release:

• Ensure the version in src/cli.ts is updated to the desired version.
• Create a new tag (not a new Release!) where the tag name follows the form vx.x.x where the x represents a semantic version number. Example: git tag -a v0.0.8 -m "v0.0.8" followed by git push origin v0.0.8.
• Once the tagged-release.yml workflow succeeds, a new release, with an automatic changelog will have been created.
• One of the build artifacts is the CHECKSUMS-SHA2-256.txt file, which contains the SHA2-256 checksum of each of the build files. These checksum values should be transferred to the truestamp-cli Homebrew Formula and pushed and tested.
