The record

What it does: Updatecli reads YAML manifests, retrieves values, checks conditions, updates files, and can create pull or merge requests.
How it runs: It is a single statically linked binary with no runtime dependency, server, or database requirement.
License: The project describes Updatecli as open source and Apache-2.0 licensed.
Update checks: Conditions can check whether requirements hold before targets are updated, and targets are skipped when a condition is not met.
Autodiscovery: Autodiscovery can scan repositories and generate manifests for supported ecosystems, including Dockerfiles, Helm, Terraform, npm, and Go.
Integrations: Documented source, condition, target, SCM, and action plugins cover services and tools including GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, Azure DevOps, Bitbucket, Jenkins, Docker, Maven, and HTTP APIs.
GitHub workflow: The GitHub SCM plugin clones repositories and can push changes on a working branch; a separate GitHub pull-request action is needed to open a pull request.
Security: Release checksums and container images can be verified with Cosign using the project’s documented verification commands.
Telemetry: OpenTelemetry distributed tracing is opt-in, disabled by default, and configured through standard environment variables.
Experimental feature limit: Udash reporting is experimental and requires the --experimental flag; its API and interface may change without the usual deprecation cycle.
Support: Community support is free, while commercial services include guaranteed response times, custom development or integration work, migration assistance, training, and ongoing support contracts.
Purpose: Updatecli uses YAML manifests to fetch values, check conditions, update files, and open pull or merge requests.
Workflow: Each pipeline runs source, condition, and target stages in that order.
Policies: Manifests can be packaged as OCI artifacts and reused across repositories.
