Angular CLI is a command-line interface tool for Angular applications, useful for initializing, developing, scaffolding, and maintaining Angular projects from a command shell. It can be installed globally (for example, via npm) and provides common commands like creating a new workspace and starting the development server (ng serve).

Angular 22.2.0-next.1 includes CLI changes to the `ng mcp` command, and multiple build improvements in `@angular/build`, including a linker migration to `oxc-parser` and `magic-string`. The release notes focus on stability fixes (build hang, watch cache behavior), SSR performance, and better license-file handling.
Featuresv22.1.3
Release 22.1.3 primarily contains bug fixes and small performance improvements across Angular CLI, @angular/build, and @angular/ssr. Documented CLI changes cover ng add/ng update correctness and Windows path normalization, build fixes address hangs and caching, and SSR tweaks focus on disconnect handling and avoiding unnecessary buffering.
