CLI State: See What Your Terminal Is Actually Using

clistate.com Observed source

Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A native macOS utility that inventories command-line tools, traces their installation sources, and exposes which versions are actually active.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-15 issue.

Field notes

CLI State begins with the login shell and compares PATH order, aliases, functions, package-manager records, and version-manager installations to identify the executable that actually wins. The page lists recognition for Homebrew, npm, uv, pipx, pnpm, Cargo, nvm, fnm, Volta, mise, asdf, rustup, and Bun, while describing version-manager handling as primarily read-only. It also offers environment or Brewfile export for staged migration between Macs.
