m-cli is a powerful command-line tool for macOS that enables you to control system functions, manage utilities, and tweak preferences – all from the Terminal.

• Manage system and admin tasks effortlessly
• No third-party dependencies
• Simple, non-intrusive installation
• Clean and safe – doesn’t modify your system unnecessarily

brew install m-cli

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rgcr/m-cli/master/install.sh | bash

Ensure that ${HOME}/.local/bin is in your $PATH. You can add it with:

export PATH="${HOME}/.local/bin:$PATH"

Add the line above to your shell config file (e.g. ~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc) for persistence.

brew uninstall m-cli

m --uninstall

• Run m to display all available commands.
• Run m <command> --help to see usage options for any specific command.

• Some macos commands needs to be executed with sudo internally, so it's recommended you have sudo privileges.
• The trash command will not work unless your terminal (e.g. iTerm2, Terminal.app) has the necessary permissions to access the Trash folder. You can grant this permission in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Full Disk Access.
