CLI

A text based way to interact with software by typing commands instead of clicking.

Detailed Explanation

CLI (Command Line Interface) is a text-based interface for interacting with software by typing commands in a Terminal. Many developer tools are CLI first: Git, npm, Docker, Node.js, and create-next-app are all used from the command line.

Expo uses CLI commands to create and run mobile apps. Edge Functions are deployed via CLI. While GUIs (graphical interfaces) feel easier at first, CLIs are faster, more powerful, and scriptable. Becoming comfortable with the CLI is a key skill that separates casual learners from serious developers.
