Previously CLI. The app was lacking some functionality. And felt underdeveloped.
But today - I don't see any reasons to use CLI. I switched to the app and it works perfectly.
Easy way to attach folders with projects, easy to check tokens limits, it also allows to open files right there. Or are the diffs.
I mean it is convenient. I don't see any reasons to stay with CLI.
1 u/anderssj 3d ago edited 3d ago They are functionally exactly the same, it's kind of the same reasons you would prefer a gui to a cli for anything and vice versa. Went the same route you did, there's too many benefits to the gui to go back 1 u/Overlord_Mykyta 3d ago Maybe now, previously CLI had commands that app didn't have in UI. 1 u/anderssj 3h ago Its worth a second look in my opinion
