for those not familiar, this basically lets you run command line tools. anything with a GUI will not work.
Yet.
Everything starts somewhere, but I wonder what macOS cli’s are the target for this tool that doesn’t have a Linux equivalent
CLI's are likely not specifically the target. I suspect the CLI is just the "low hanging fruit" and core set of software that needs to be supported before you build up to a fully functional GUI apps.
Seeing how the majority of CLI apps available on the Mac are ported over from Linux in the first place, what is even the point?
