magento [command] [--help] [options] [arguments]

magento is the command-line interface for Magento/Adobe Commerce e-commerce platform. It manages store operations, deployments, and maintenance tasks.
Cache management is critical for performance. Clean removes specific cached data while flush clears all storage. Different cache types (config, layout, block_html, collections, etc.) can be targeted individually.
The deployment process involves dependency injection compilation, static content deployment, and database upgrades. These steps are required after code changes or module installations.
Indexers keep derived data synchronized with source data. Reindexing is needed after catalog changes, price updates, or inventory modifications.
Maintenance mode shows a service unavailable page to customers while allowing administrators to work. IP exceptions can be configured.

Magento was founded in 2008 by Varien and later acquired by eBay in 2011, then spun off as an independent company. Adobe acquired Magento in 2018. The CLI was introduced with Magento 2 in 2015, replacing the earlier admin-based configuration approach.
