Can you promote in r/cli?
A command line interface (CLI) is a text-based interface where you can input commands that interact with a computer's operating system. The CLI operates with the help of the default shell, which is between the operating system and the user. r/CLI is a community for sharing CLIs, discussing about CLIs and doing other things around CLIs.
The short answer
Answer questions helpfully and focus on CLI value; if you mention your product, keep it brief, relevant, and clearly not spam.
What works here
- Answer technical CLI questions
- Share CLI tools or demos if directly relevant
- Participate in discussions about CLIs
What gets posts removed
- Unsolicited advertising or mass-posting (spam)
- Posting irrelevant promotional content
- Link-dropped self-promotion without context
