Terminal / CLI Subcommands

ContextL is not just an IDE plugin. It installs a global command-line interface on your system so you can access all the intelligence features natively from your terminal. Use it to find where to start coding, or pipe the JSON output into your own custom scripts or CI/CD pipelines.
