## Notes

Netlify CLI is a TypeScript command-line client for the Netlify hosting platform, installed with npm or Homebrew. It deploys a project to Netlify and runs a local development server, Netlify Dev, so a site can run on the developer's machine before it is deployed. The command reference also lists commands that provision and use hosted services, such as a Postgres database, agent tasks and Netlify Blobs. The source is published on GitHub by Netlify, Inc., which is based in San Francisco.

## Worth knowing

Several commands act on the hosted Netlify platform, which is outside this record. The get-started guide names an older Node.js minimum than the package declares, so the package's own requirement is the one recorded.
