CLI

A Command-Line Interface (CLI) is a text-based interface used to interact with a computer or software by typing commands into a terminal or console. Unlike Graphical User Interfaces (GUI), which rely on visual elements like buttons and icons, CLI provides direct access to system functionalities through command execution.

Examples of CLI Applications:

• Operating System Shells: Bash (Linux), PowerShell (Windows), Zsh, Command Prompt
• Programming Language REPLs: Python (python), Node.js (node), Ruby (irb)
• Database Clients: MySQL CLI, PostgreSQL CLI
• Version Control: Git (git commit -m "message")
