As a software developer or dev-ops engineer, one may be used to common principles, such as Continous Integration / Development (CD/CI) or versioning using git. Even if Cognigy already provides the concept of [Snapshots](https://docs.cognigy.com/docs/snapshots-1) for automatic versioning which can be maintained by using the [Open API](https://api-trial.cognigy.ai/openapi), a developer might want to use the mentioned git tools and push changes to an internal repository.

Next to this one example, one could use the Cognigy-CLI for the following processes:

- Maintaining resources locally
- Download intents to automatically translate them
- Train intents automatically
- Use local scripts to change various parts of the virtual agent
- and so on ...

**This tutorial series explains how to use the CLI.**
