Well, CLI is more like basic knowledge. If you know how to point and click, you know GUI. If you know how to enter, edit, move between and possibly chain commands using text entry, you know CLI.

But you don't really know how to work any actual program without learning is switches and manual.

You could argue that CLI is a skill, but nobody generally puts ability to read and write in their native language on their CVs, sorta. Rather. CLI is a basic prerequisite. IMO. at least.

That's interesting. FWIW I think I recall seeing jobs listing CLI along with automating tasks like data processing or ETL.

You need to use the command line to run any program in any language. Like the other commenter said, you aren’t a programmer if you don’t know how to use a command line.
