Although graphical user interfaces are omnipresent in today’s technology, command-line interfaces were the predominant method of interaction during the early stages of computing. In graphical user interfaces, it is customary to utilize a mouse to interact with icons or windows in order to accomplish various tasks. In contrast, command-line interfaces necessitate more keyboard-based interaction. To provide a comprehensive definition of a command-line interface, it is first necessary to explore the fundamental concepts of consoles, terminals, terminal emulators, and shells.
Users input instructions through a Command-Line Interface (CLI). After submitting a command, the shell assumes responsibility for interpreting and executing the instruction. In contrast to CLI, GUI stands for Graphical User Interface, which uses graphical means to enable user-computer interaction. Given its ease of use, modern operating systems, including Linux, macOS, and Windows, all provide a graphical user interface.
Just because a graphical user interface is generally more user-friendly than a command-line interface, it does not mean we should completely abandon the command-line interface. In fact, experienced users often excel in using the command-line interface due to several advantages.
Using the command line also has the benefit of allowing us to automate various operations. The shell enables us to compile our commands into functions or scripts, which not only can be executed repeatedly but also work more efficiently than manual inputs.
