cli: A command-line interface for working with Databricks from a terminal or container.

What problem it solves

Users need a way to authenticate and perform Databricks operations from the command line. They also need a deployment option for environments where installing a binary directly is inconvenient.

Key features

  • Dependency-free executable — The CLI is packaged as a standalone binary that can be placed in any directory and run without separate dependency installation.

    Source: README

  • Docker-based execution — A Docker image provides an alternative way to pull and run the CLI, including a container invocation configured with a host and token.

    Source: README, Dockerfile

  • Unified authentication — Authentication follows the Databricks Unified Authentication principles, with detailed guidance provided by the Databricks Go SDK.

    Source: README

  • Stable command interfaces — Commands and flags are stable by default within a major version. Features marked Beta, Private Preview, or placed in the experimental group may change in a minor release.

    Source: README

  • Semantic versioning and security patches — The project uses Semantic Versioning and publishes security patches to the current release and selected older versions.

Quick start

Copied verbatim from the project's README.

docker pull ghcr.io/databricks/cli:latest
docker run -e DATABRICKS_HOST=$YOUR_HOST_URL -e DATABRICKS_TOKEN=$YOUR_TOKEN ghcr.io/databricks/cli:latest current-user me

Who it may suit

This may suit Databricks users who need to authenticate and run CLI operations from a terminal, as well as teams that prefer container-based deployment.

Topics to discuss

  • Which workflows should be added to the next container-based quickstart example?

  • How can the project make stable, beta, and experimental command expectations clearer?

  • Which authentication configuration examples would be most useful to contributors?
