icp-cli was intended to eventually replace dfx. (will be deprecated)

Everyone had time since October to move away from dfx.  
As of **March 6th, 2026** - [v0.2.0](https://github.com/dfinity/icp-cli/releases/tag/v0.2.0) we are already on version 0.2  
The docs are very good [icp-cli Documentation | ICP CLI](https://cli.internetcomputer.org/0.2/) and the feedback [thread](https://forum.dfinity.org/t/icp-cli-announcements-and-feedback-discussion/60410) is full of additional info and help.
