⬤ Cline has just dropped CLI 2.0, an open-source AI coding agent that lives completely inside your terminal. For developers who prefer staying in the command line, this tool promises a seamless journey from initial prompt all the way to production deployment—no context switching required.
⬤ The 2.0 release brings some serious upgrades under the hood. The standout feature? Parallel agents that can tackle multiple tasks at once, letting you run different coding operations simultaneously. There's also built-in support for headless CI/CD pipelines, making it easier to integrate automated testing and deployment right into your existing workflows. Plus, it now works with ACP compatibility across any editor you're using.
⬤ The developer experience got a complete redesign, streamlining everything to keep you focused and productive within your terminal environment. The goal is enabling a full development cycle entirely within the terminal—optimized for developers who prefer staying in the command line.
⬤ Here's a nice bonus for early adopters: Cline announced that both the Minimax M2.5 and Kimi K2.5 AI models are available to use completely free for a limited period. These models plug directly into the platform, giving you high-quality AI assistance without added cost while you're testing out the new features.
⬤ What makes CLI 2.0 compelling is how it consolidates the entire development stack. Instead of bouncing between your editor, terminal, CI tools, and deployment platforms, everything happens in one unified terminal workflow. Development, automation, and execution all live in the same place.
⬤ The company's vision is straightforward: enable a complete development cycle—from that first prompt to final production deployment—entirely within the terminal. For terminal-native developers and teams running automation-heavy workflows, CLI 2.0 positions itself as a genuinely useful addition to the toolchain.
