NEAR CLI

NEAR CLI is a command-line interface tool for interacting with the NEAR Protocol blockchain, enabling developers to manage accounts, deploy smart contracts, and execute transactions. It provides a streamlined way to develop, test, and deploy decentralized applications (dApps) on the NEAR network, handling tasks like contract compilation and network configuration.

Also known as: near-cli, near command line interface, NEAR command-line tool, near-cli-rs, nearup

Why learn NEAR CLI?

Developers should learn NEAR CLI when building dApps on the NEAR Protocol, as it simplifies blockchain operations like deploying contracts and managing accounts without relying on graphical interfaces. It's essential for automating deployment pipelines, testing smart contracts in local environments, and interacting with NEAR's sharded architecture efficiently.
