Also, it includes how to set up the project to auto-generate the configuration and GraphQL files.

Let’s get started!
Amplify-CLI Headless Mode, allow us to pass data (Strings, Integers, and JSON objects) thought arguments to the Amplify commands. It is essential to provide all the information needed by the command, if a required key is missing, the CLI prompt for input (work non-interactively). We don’t want the CLI to prompt for input, because this will break our CI/CD pipeline.
