Command Line Interface - DEV Community Skip to content Powered by Algolia Log in Create account DEV Community Command Line Interface CLI is a text-based user interface used to interact with a computer's operating system or software by typing commands into a terminal. Follow Hide Create Post about #cli Before there were graphical user interfaces, command-line interfaces were used to issue commands to a computer. Programs that handle the user interface are called command language interpreters, often known as a shell. A CLI may give a user more control over the computer and programs they wish to execute.
