Why use Proggy?

While it is true that users can create their own terminal script using languages like Golang or Bash, Proggy offers several clear advantages to its users.

Let’s take a look at some of these advantages…

1. Language agnostic

Using Proggy’s web application to design your CLI program, you can run them in a platform and language independent manner.

Proggy’s CLI takes care of being able to run on Linux, Mac, or Windows.

You also do not need to learn specific scripting languages to be able to create your CLI program. Intsead, you can start to create your custom CLI program right away.

2. Shareable CLI programs

Proggy allows you to share your CLI programs with your team or anyone.

Let’s say you are selling a software that requires purchase authentication before allowing the user to download the code. Using Proggy, you can design the CLI to ask the user for their purchase serial number. Using Proggy’s POST request directive, you can check whether the user is valid before downloading the file.

Other use cases:

• Set up development environment for onboarding new developers
• Server management and provisioning
• Call APIs and generate reports
• Synchronize environment variables
