CLI (Command Line Interface)

A Command Line Interface (CLI) is a text-based interface that allows users to interact with computers by executing commands. Unlike graphical user interfaces (GUIs), a CLI provides a more direct and flexible way to control operating systems, software, and cloud environments. Developers and system administrators commonly use CLI tools like Bash for Unix/Linux systems or PowerShell for Windows to perform tasks more efficiently and automate processes via scripting. CLIs are often preferred for their speed, precision, and ability to execute complex commands quickly compared to navigating through GUI options.
