A command-line interface (CLI) is a text-based way of interacting with a computer or program by typing commands into a terminal, as opposed to using a graphical interface with windows and icons. Software developers, system administrators, and power users rely on CLIs for tasks like file management, running scripts, version control (e.g., Git), and automating repetitive processes efficiently. Mastery of the CLI is considered a core skill in software engineering and IT operations due to its speed and scriptability.
