## What it is
The official Netlify command line interface for interacting with Netlify from the terminal. It supports deploying sites, running local dev servers, managing environment variables, functions, Blobs storage, and provisioning databases.

## Use cases
- deploy a site to netlify from the terminal
- run my netlify site locally with netlify dev
- manage netlify environment variables from cli
- provision a postgres database for my netlify project
- run netlify serverless functions locally
- manage netlify blobs storage from the command line
- link a local repo to a netlify site

## When to choose
- you deploy or manage sites on Netlify and want terminal-based workflows
- you need to emulate Netlify's dev server, functions, and redirects locally
- you want scripted or CI-driven Netlify deployments

## When to avoid
- you deploy to other platforms like Vercel or AWS without Netlify
- you prefer managing Netlify exclusively through its web dashboard
- your project does not use Node.js 22.13+ and you cannot install it
