Arduino CLI is an all-in-one solution that provides Boards/Library Managers, sketch builder, board detection, uploader, and many other tools needed to use any Arduino compatible board and platform from command line or machine interfaces.

Note: this software is currently under active development: anything can change at any time, API and UI must be considered unstable until we release version 1.0.0.
