Programmatic Access - docker/docker-credential-helpers

The client package in the docker-credential-helpers project provides functions for interacting with credential helpers from other command-line applications. It includes the following functions:

NewClient: creates a new client for interacting with credential helpers.
GetSecrets: retrieves secrets from the specified credential helper.
StoreSecrets: stores secrets in the specified credential helper.
ListHelpers: lists all available credential helpers.

Here are examples of how to use each function:

Creating a new client:

client, err := client.NewClient("osxkeychain")
if err != nil {
// handle error
}

Retrieving secrets:

secrets, err := client.GetSecrets("my.registry.com", "my-username", "my-password")
if err != nil {
// handle error
}
fmt.Println(secrets)

Storing secrets:

err := client.StoreSecrets("my.registry.com", "my-username", "my-password")
if err != nil {
// handle error
}

Listing available credential helpers:

helpers, err := client.ListHelpers()
if err != nil {
// handle error
}
fmt.Println(helpers)

These functions allow developers to interact with credential helpers programmatically, making it easier to manage credentials for different registries and applications.
