Flutter, a mobile development UI kit managed by Google comes with the handy CLI (Command Line Interface). It lets you do the same tasks that you perform using IDE. CMD package helps you quickly running the common CLI commands that are used in almost all Flutter projects by running pre-written scripts. Flutter developers find it difficult to type commands again and again and sometimes you need to run a series of commands one after another. This is where CMD package is helpful. Flutter's cmd package helps developers to save time by running scripts for performing the below operations:
