Spring Boot CLI is an open-source tool that simplifies the development and testing of Spring Boot applications. It allows developers to run Spring applications directly from the command line, using Groovy scripts or Java code with minimal configuration. The Spring Boot CLI is particularly useful for rapid prototyping and testing, making it easier to develop stand-alone, production-grade applications quickly.

Features of Spring Boot CLI:

• Run and test Spring Boot applications directly from the command line.
• Supports Groovy scripting for minimal configuration and rapid testing.
• Quickly generate executable JARs or WARs for deployment.
• Automates common Spring configuration tasks, reducing setup time.

To check the installed Spring Boot CLI version, run: spring --version.
