What does Angular CLI do?

Angular CLI (Command Line Interface) is a command-line tool that helps quickly create, configure, and manage Angular applications.

#What Angular CLI does:

1. Creates a project from scratch

• immediately generates the project structure, sets up the build, configuration, TypeScript, and everything needed.

2. Runs a local server

• runs the application in the browser and watches for changes (hot reload).

3. Generates code

• automatically creates components, services, modules, pipes, and so on from a template, so you don't write them by hand.

4. Builds the project for production

• minifies, optimizes, and bundles the files into dist/.

5. Runs tests

• runs unit tests or end-to-end tests with the required configuration.

#Why it's needed
