LFX Mentorship - 2025 - Term 3

[bupd]

The Habor CLI Project is again looking for a mentee to improve and add features to the Harbor CLI project.

Timeline: https://github.com/cncf/mentoring/tree/main/programs/lfx-mentorship/2025/02-Jun-Aug#timeline

Enhance Harbor CLI with Missing Commands and Improved Features for CI/CD Workflows

Description:

The current Harbor CLI provides basic functionality but lacks several essential commands and advanced features that are available in the Harbor Web UI. To make Harbor more efficient and usable in CI/CD pipelines, we need to extend the CLI with additional commands and enhance its existing functionality. These improvements will allow administrators and users to manage Harbor more effectively through the CLI, enabling robust and streamlined workflows.

Expected Outcome:

1. Implement Missing Commands:

   • Identify and implement commands that are currently absent in the CLI but are available in the Harbor Web UI. These commands should cover typical administrative and user workflows for managing Harbor resources.
   • Refer to the existing issue 📌 Tracker: Missing and To-Be-Added CLI Commands #94 for a list of commands that need to be implemented.

2. Improve Existing Commands:

   • Review and test all implemented commands to ensure they work as expected, are efficient, and follow best practices.

3. Add Features for CI/CD Integration:

   • Extend the CLI to enable effective integration with CI/CD pipelines.
   • Support commands for automation of common administrative tasks like managing repositories, policies, user access, and more.

Recommended Skills:

• Golang
• spf13/cobra
• REST/Open API

Hi @bupd ,
I’m Akshay Waghmare, a B.Tech student at IIIT Allahabad and a GSoC 2025 contributor. I came across the Harbor CLI project and I’m very interested in contributing to it, especially around improving CLI features and enhancing CI/CD workflows.

Could you please let me know the next steps to get started?

Thanks!

Hey @OmBiradar ,
The #harbor-cli channel is under the CNCF Slack workspace, not the Kubernetes workspace

Hi @bupd ,

I hope you're doing well.

I wanted to ask if there are any specific tasks or contributions we can work on to demonstrate our skills and deepen our understanding of the CNCF Harbor CLI Enhancements project. I’m keen to contribute meaningfully and believe this would also strengthen my LFX mentorship application.

If there are any recommended issues, documentation improvements, or other areas you'd suggest focusing on, I would sincerely appreciate your guidance.

Looking forward to your suggestions.

Best regards,
Syed Mohammed Sylani
