Discussion Ask HN: How should the CLI be designed today? I've long thought that the command line is just a bit rubbish, even if it is powerful.If you were redesigning it today (2016), how would you lay it out and what it do?E.g. collapse output. Keep more metadata on history. Built in error hints (e.g. google the error, harvest possibilities).How should the CLI work across microservices and cloud services?What should the graphical design be?This is deliberately open. Looking for pet hates and ideas. 85 points danfrost 10 years ago 85 comments
