Aloe CLI

Aloe is a simple but powerful console service that makes building your leaf apps just a simple walk in the park. Aloe CLI ships with the default Leaf console tool in the newer versions of Leaf API, Leaf MVC and Skeleton.

Aloe comes with a predefined set of commands which provide project scaffolding, database and app management right from the console. It also introduces a much simpler and cleaner way to write your commands.
