## 项目历史与用法

m-cli is a shell-based macOS command-line utility that describes itself as a Swiss Army Knife for macOS in the terminal. It wraps many common system administration and preference tasks behind a single `m` command.

### 项目历史

The public GitHub repository was created in July 2016 and is maintained as a small Unix-style command suite. Its README emphasizes macOS-only system control, no third-party dependencies, a simple manual install path, and Homebrew installation.

The project underwent a notable 2.0 syntax change: the changelog records a move from positional plugin subcommands such as `m bluetooth on` to option-based forms such as `m bluetooth --enable`, alongside generated shell completions.

### 采用历史

m-cli has become a recognizable macOS package-manager utility: the repository shows thousands of GitHub stars and hundreds of forks, while the input package facts list both Homebrew and Nix packaging.

Its appeal is strongest among macOS users who prefer scriptable terminal access to system settings that are otherwise spread across System Settings, Apple tools, and small command-line utilities.

### 使用方式

Users install it with Homebrew as `brew install m-cli` or manually with the upstream install script, then run `m` to list commands or `m <command> --help` for command-specific usage.

The command set covers macOS areas such as AirDrop, Bluetooth, display, DNS, Dock, Finder, firewall, Gatekeeper, network, power, printers, services, users, VPN, volume, wallpaper, and Wi-Fi. Some commands need sudo privileges or macOS privacy permissions.

### 为什么软件包爱好者会关心

For package-maintainer audiences, m-cli is an example of a Homebrew-friendly macOS wrapper that packages many native system toggles as small shell plugins rather than as a daemon or GUI app.

The 2.x syntax shift matters because it changed scripting compatibility while making completions easier to keep in sync with plugin help output.

### 时间线

- 2016: Public GitHub repository created
- 2026: v2.0.9 released with restart and completion fixes
- 2026: GitHub repository metadata shows roughly 9.9k stars and 318 forks
