Welcome to the third chapter of our Angular Advocate rewrite journey, titled “Angular CLI Quick Reference.” In this installment, we’ll explore the Angular Command Line Interface (CLI), a potent tool that streamlines your Angular development process. Remember that this is a public journey and you’re invited. Feel free to refer back to the first edition of Angular Advocate at http://AngularAdvocate.com, and stay tuned for the upcoming updated version. Don’t forget to follow this unfolding series here on Medium as well. Now, let’s get started.

One of the most powerful tools in the Angular ecosystem is the Angular Command Line Interface (CLI), also known as the ng CLI. The Angular CLI is an indispensable tool for Angular developers, providing a comprehensive set of commands that simplify and streamline the process of creating, scaffolding, and managing Angular applications. The CLI abstracts away much of the complexity and boilerplate code that comes with setting up a new Angular project, allowing you to focus on writing your application logic. The Angular CLI also supports a wide variety of custom tasks, reducing the need for manual configuration and setup in many project scenarios.
