M Cli
m-cli is a suite of command line utilities designed for macOS system administration, hardware management, networking, and security permissions. It provides a terminal-based interface to configure system preferences and manage hardware components.
The project allows for the direct control of physical system components, such as fan speeds, battery states, and display brightness. It also provides utilities for network administration, including the management of Wi-Fi connections, DNS settings, VPNs, and firewall rules.
The tool covers a broad range of administrative capabilities, including power and session control for restarts and shutdowns, security management for gatekeeper settings and application privacy permissions, and general system configuration for dock behavior and appearance settings. It also includes utilities for modifying local host entries and managing remote login access.
