About regclient
regclient is a registry client for Docker and OCI container registries. It is written in Go and ships as a library plus command-line tools built on it. You can use the tools to inspect, copy and manage images held in a registry without pulling them through a local container engine.
The repository also includes a Docker plugin and documentation. It suits people who move images between registries or script registry maintenance in CI pipelines.
