chainctl Usage
Chainguard’s chainctl (Chainguard Control) is a command-line interface that provides comprehensive control over your Chainguard resources, including container images, identity management, and security configurations. This CLI tool enables automation and advanced operations beyond what’s available in the Chainguard Console, making it essential for DevOps workflows and CI/CD integration.
Like most control commands that end with ctl, such as systemctl or loginctl, chainctl uses the familiar <context> <noun> <verb> syntax.
