What is CLI?
Command Line Interface - a way to interact with software by typing text commands
Why It Matters
CLIs are powerful tools for developers, often faster than graphical interfaces
Real-World Example
Using 'git push' in the terminal instead of clicking buttons in an app
“Understanding terms like CLI matters because it helps you have better conversations with developers and make smarter decisions about your software. You do not need to be technical. You just need to know enough to ask the right questions.”
From definition to deployment
Knowing the term is step one. Using it in something real is the rest.
