What it is

Trigger Jenkins builds from the command line.

Real use case example

"A founder building a cloud-based project can use this tool to automate their CI/CD pipeline. They create a Jenkinsfile to define their pipeline, then use the CLI tool to trigger a build from their terminal. They can automate various tasks, such as running tests, building Docker images, and deploying to production, all from the command line."
