Making With Code CLI documentation
==================================

The *Making With Code CLI* is a program used by students and teachers 
in `Making With Code <https://makingwithcode.org>`_, an introductory
high school computer science course. 

This package provides the command-line tool `mwc` which helps students 
configure their computers, work on assignments and projects, 
and submit their work. Teachers use `mwc` to adminster their courses, including tools for 
feedback and assessment. The overall goal of the project is to provide 
computational infrastructure to teachers and schools allowing them to 
teach CS through open-ended projects using real tools, supporting 
personal relationships with powerful ideas and rich computing cultures. 

.. note::
   A command-line interface (CLI) is a program which runs in a terminal
   (also called a command line, a shell, or a console), with text-based
   input and output. In contrast, most apps and
   programs today are graphical-user interfaces (GUIs), meaning they
   open in a window on your computer desktop (or full-screen on your phone
   or watch) and you interact with them by clicking buttons, swiping, etc. 

   One of the main goals of *Making With Code* is to learn how to use your 
   computer as a partner in thinking, and even though CLIs may be unfamiliar, 
   they can be extremely powerful partners in thinking.
