What is ZDK CLI?

ZDK CLI (Zoho Development Kit Command Line Interface) is a set of CLI tools that you can use to manage metadata in Zoho CRM. ZDK CLI allows you to modify and push metadata changes (profiles, roles, modules, fields, and layouts) and to manage widgets directly from CLI. With the metadata pulled from Zoho CRM using ZDK CLI, you can track your changes in your preferred Version Control System (VCS).
