Magnolia CLI v5 brings together the best parts of our previous tools into one unified interface. It supports both Freemarker and headless projects, combining the strengths of our existing solutions to give you greater flexibility and control. CLI v5 adapts to your needs with powerful features and enhanced customization options.
