The command line interface (CLI) is a text-based user interface used to interact with the software by typing commands into a console or terminal. This method allows for direct communication with the operating system, making it a powerful tool for system administration, file manipulation, and executing scripts or programs. GUIs (Graphical User Interfaces) provide a more visually intuitive way to interact with the system, but CLIs can often be more efficient and powerful for advanced tasks.
