NOTE: This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.

1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment

Please see the organizational deployment guide

  • Open Source or Commercial:
    • Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://chocolatey.org/api/v2. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
    • You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download

3. Enter your internal repository url

(this should look similar to https://chocolatey.org/api/v2)

4. Choose your deployment method:


choco upgrade sift -y --source="'STEP 3 URL'" [other options]

See options you can pass to upgrade.

See best practices for scripting.

Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.

If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:


choco upgrade sift -y --source="'STEP 3 URL'"
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE

Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
  Exit 0
}

Exit $exitCode

Description

Feautures

It's fast. really fast.

Some grep alternatives try to be fast by not searching everywhere. sift was developed with performance in mind and just is fast.
Take a look at the benchmarks for details.

No installation

sift comes as a single executable with no dependencies and is available for all major platforms (Linux, Windows, OS X, BSD)
Need to use sift on a remote server? Just copy it over and it will work - no problems due to missing packages.

Flexiblity. all the features you expect from a modern grep alternative.

  • RegEx - perl compatible regular expression syntax (no more escape hell)
  • usable defaults - basic options known from grep but with usable defaults
  • multiline support - find matches spanning over multiple lines
  • replace - replace output to reformat it to your needs without relying on awk/sed
  • gzip files - search through normal and gzip'ed files in one program call
  • multiple patterns - search for multiple patterns in one run
  • target selection - select or exclude search targets based on file name, directory name, path and type
  • handling big data - sift handles big files without problems: files >50GB, >5,000,000,000 lines and >5,000,000,000 matches successfully tested
  • customizable - optional global and local configuration file to specify your own preferences

Use Conditions

Doing code audits? Need to extract data from complex formats?
sift will make this much easier.
You may specify various conditions and only get matches.

  • preceded by A
  • followed by B within X lines
  • if the file also contains a line with C
  • if the file contains D in the first Y lines
  • any combination of the available conditions

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).

Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.
