# Wix CLI

The Wix CLI is the command-line tool for creating, developing, and deploying [Wix apps](fallback::https://dev.wix.com/docs/build-apps/get-started/overview/about-wix-apps) and [Wix-managed headless projects](fallback::https://dev.wix.com/docs/go-headless/wix-managed-headless/about-wix-managed-headless), and for exporting Studio Two sites to code and importing your changes back. For extending other Wix sites, see [Git Integration & Wix CLI for Sites](fallback::https://dev.wix.com/docs/develop-websites/articles/workspace-tools/developer-tools/git-integration-wix-cli-for-sites/about-git-integration-wix-cli-for-sites).
