ELI5 mode

A Command Line Interface, or CLI, is a text-based method for users to interact with a computer by entering commands directly, offering a streamlined alternative to graphical interfaces. This approach excels in scenarios requiring speed, precision, and automation, such as scripting complex tasks in programming or system administration, and has remained a staple in tech workflows despite the rise of more visual tools.
