Versions:
News CLI is a lightweight, open-source command-line utility created by Jonathan Alcantar (Atticus64) that streams curated developer-centric news directly to the terminal. Released in a single stable version 1.3.0, the tool is designed for software engineers, DevOps practitioners, and technical managers who want to stay current with industry updates without leaving their coding environment. By fetching headlines from a hand-picked set of reputable tech publications and aggregators, News CLI displays succinct summaries, publication times, and direct URLs that can be opened in the default browser for deeper reading. The program supports colorized output, keyword filtering, and refresh intervals configurable through simple flags, making it easy to monitor breaking announcements about programming languages, frameworks, security advisories, cloud services, and open-source projects. Typical use cases include glancing at the latest stories while waiting for a build to finish, integrating a news check into a daily stand-up script, or piping selected headlines into team chat via webhook. Because it runs entirely in the terminal, News CLI consumes minimal system resources and can be deployed on headless servers, CI runners, or remote development containers where GUI RSS readers are impractical. The utility is distributed under an MIT license, encourages community contributions, and is compatible with Windows PowerShell, macOS Terminal, and Linux shells that support Node.js 14 or newer. News CLI falls under the “Developer Tools / News & RSS” category and 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.
