Show a demo of the CLI without the end-user having to install anything. A recording gives a sense of the expected latency/ performance of the commands and is easier to digest for many than a wall of commands. Plus it uses minimal bandwidth so it's more efficient than a video, though you don't get audio. Imo it doesn't replace tutorials as much as it is a low friction way for people to get a feel for things.
