Command box
CommandBox is a ColdFusion command line interface (CLI) and package manager that allows developers to work more efficiently. It features a package manager for installing dependencies, a read-eval-print loop (REPL) for executing code, an integrated server for running apps, and automation capabilities through commands and recipes. CommandBox aims to improve how ColdFusion developers work by bringing the power of the command line and modern tooling to CFML.
