## What it is
The official Travis CI client, distributed as the 'travis' Ruby gem, providing both a command line tool and a Ruby library for interacting with Travis CI services. It supports managing repositories, triggering and monitoring builds, encrypting secrets for .travis.yml, and authenticating against travis-ci.com or self-hosted Travis CI endpoints.

## Use cases
- manage travis ci builds from the command line
- encrypt environment variables for .travis.yml
- lint a travis ci config file
- stream ci test logs in the terminal
- enable or disable travis ci on a github repository
- monitor live build status for my repos
- interact with the travis ci api from ruby code

## When to choose
- you use Travis CI and want to manage builds, caches, and settings without the web UI
- you need to encrypt files or variables for .travis.yml from the terminal
- you want a Ruby library to script interactions with the Travis CI API
- you run a custom/self-hosted Travis CI setup and need a client for it

## When to avoid
- your CI runs on GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or another non-Travis platform
- you need a GUI dashboard for CI rather than a terminal tool
- your project does not use Ruby and you prefer a client in another language
