What is Cline?

Cline is an open-source, bring-your-own-model autonomous coding Agent, first released in 2024 under the name Claude Dev and now maintained by Cline Bot Inc. It can read project structures, modify code across files, and present every change as a reviewable diff; combined with its Checkpoint mechanism based on a hidden Git repository, you can roll back files or conversations at any time, making the cost of trial and error nearly zero. Cline can execute commands directly in the terminal and read their output, handling long-running processes such as dev servers, tests, and deployments; its Plan and Act modes separate “planning” from “execution,” and each step can be approved individually or with auto-approve enabled. It supports .clinerules project conventions, MCP servers, and a plugin marketplace, and is distributed in many forms, including VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, JetBrains, Zed, and Neovim extensions, as well as a CLI, desktop app, and cloud tasks.
