I just thought of CLImax. Might be to sexually loaded though :(

Yeah... How about "mcl", "A Mac Command-Line tool"?

Already in use (though, pretty niche): http://micans.org/mcl/

Or mctl?

Funny name, but interesting for sure :D

Off the top of my head, I think "MacFoo" and "WinBar" are well-accepted conventions for tools built for the mac and windows respectively. Maybe look for something short and sweet in that vein? Or just something short and easy to memorize.

I'm really terrible at choosing names, so I'm sorry for criticizing more than I'm suggesting.

I wish you lots of success, the world needs more easy to use development tools. Don't let armchair quarterbacks like me demotivate you :)

If MacFoo and WinBar are OK, then surely "Mac Cli" is OK.

Or shorten it to MacCli if you must.

The actual command doesn't have to change.

I agree with you, plus the command name is really easy to remember.

i'd just call it maCLI

I do love 'Docker' though.

I do too, but I didn't choose it :) It was an internal codename picked by one of the early engineers on the project. In fact I firmly intended to change the name before launch - but we accidentally launched ahead of schedule and people loved it. The rest is history.

A good example of my ineptitude at identifying good names.

That is why asking is always a good idea. I've met entrepreneurs that have the mindset that everything has to be an idea of themselves. I think that ego is a big player on their mindset.

The great thing about open-source is that everything is created through collaborarion. The best of everyone is contributed to a project in benefit of the entire community.
