The Force CLI is an open source app, which is written in Go, it allows us to work with Force.com data directly from the command line.
Sometimes we might confuse Salesforce DX with Force CLI, which made its debut during the Salesforce For Developers Keynote 2016, as the two commond-line tools looks very similar, so it could be that Salesforce DX will be a updated version and finally replace the Force CLI.
So far, Salesforce DX is not available yet, but maybe you can try Force CLI first and prepare for Salesforce DX’s coming.
The usage of Force CLI is pretty simple, let’s get started.
Enjoy It!
