A command line deployment tool is a software utility designed to facilitate the process of deploying applications or software updates on a computer system using text-based commands executed through a command line interface (CLI).
This tool enables developers and system administrators to automate and streamline the deployment process by executing a series of predefined commands, rather than manually performing each step individually. It provides a flexible and efficient way to deploy software across multiple environments, such as development, testing, and production, without the need for a graphical user interface (GUI).
The command line deployment tool typically interacts with the target system's operating system, file system, and other relevant components to execute deployment tasks. These tasks may include copying files, installing dependencies, configuring settings, and running scripts or commands necessary for the application's proper functioning.
Some command line deployment tools offer additional features, such as version control integration, environment-specific configurations, rollback capabilities, and support for various deployment scenarios, like distributed environments or cloud platforms.
Overall, a command line deployment tool simplifies the deployment process by providing a command-driven interface to automate repetitive tasks, enhance consistency, and improve efficiency in deploying applications or updates on computer systems.
