Versions:
Salesforce CLI is an open-source command-line interface created by the Open CLI Collective that enables developers and administrators to interact directly with Salesforce organizations from any terminal without leaving the keyboard. Currently at version 0.1.9 and offered through three distinct release tracks, the utility streamlines authentication via OAuth 2.0 and stores refresh tokens securely in the system keychain, eliminating repeated login prompts. Once authenticated, users can execute SOQL queries to retrieve records, perform full CRUD operations on standard and custom objects, and introspect available REST and SOAP endpoints through built-in API discovery commands. Typical use cases range from rapid data inspection during development and automated deployment scripts to continuous-integration pipelines that validate Apex code or migrate configuration changes across sandboxes and production instances. Because the tool is lightweight and cross-platform, it fits naturally into DevOps workflows alongside Git, npm, or Docker, allowing teams to script repetitive administrative tasks, export large datasets for analytics, or trigger asynchronous jobs without opening a browser. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
