What is a CLI?

A command line interface (or CLI) is a text-based interface (API) for an application. Command lines interfaces provide a concise and powerful way to interact with an application. Applications with command line interfaces can be automated via scripting. 

Appfire CLI (ACLI) is an integrated family of CLIs for Atlassian and other applications.

ACLI provide a consistent and reliable automation platform that allows users, administrators, script writers, and DevOps developers to do tasks, implement business processes, or general automation with Atlassian products.CLIs are built on the Atlassian remote APIs and deliver a higher level, client based API that is easier to use and more powerful than the underlying product APIs.
