One of the most useful improvements of Magento 2 over its predecessor is its built-in Command Line Interface (CLI) tool. This powerful tool allows you to perform a wide variety of tasks including installation, configuration, database backups, compiling LESS etc. And if you’re familiar with Magneto CLI, writing and rewriting the same command lines over and over again would feel inefficient at times. However, what most Magento developers don’t know is that you can shorten your command lines with shortcuts.
