Command-line Interface (CLI)
############################
**Audience:** Users looking to create a command line interface (CLI) for their application.
----
**************
What is a CLI?
**************
A Command-line Interface (CLI) is an user interface (UI) in a terminal to interact with a specific program.
.. note::
The Lightning guideline to build CLI is `lightning_app <VERB> <NOUN> ...` or `<ACTION> <OBJECT> ...`.
As an example, Lightning provides a CLI to interact with your Lightning Apps and the `lightning.ai <https://lightning.ai/>`_ platform as follows:
.. code-block:: bash
main
├── fork - Forks an App.
├── init - Initializes a Lightning App and/or Component.
│ ├── app
│ ├── component
│ ├── pl-app - Creates an App from your PyTorch Lightning source files.
│ └── react-ui - Creates a React UI to give a Lightning Component a React.js web UI
├── install - Installs a Lightning App and/or Component.
│ ├── app
│ └── component
├── list - Lists Lightning AI self-managed resources (apps)
│ └── apps - Lists your Lightning AI Apps.
├── login - Logs in to your lightning.ai account.
├── logout - Logs out of your lightning.ai account.
├── run - Runs a Lightning App locally or on the cloud.
│ └── app - Runs an App from a file.
├── show - Shows given resource.
│ └── logs - Shows cloud application logs. By default prints logs for all currently available Components.
├── stop - Stops your App.
└── tree - Shows the command tree of your CLI.
