user4478: Since inotool is dead, I'm trying to transition over to Arduino's built-in command line tool.
It seems largely equivalent, but the one feature it seems to be missing is a serial interface. e.g. Running ino serial would open a simple serial interface to the Arduino, providing invaluable debugging info from any Serial.print() statements.
How is this accomplished with the current Arduino command line tool?

user15465: If you are using linux, as I guess, you can look at this archwiki page. Even if is a wiki relative to archlinux OS some informations explained are LinuxOS independendent.
For your needs, you can use screen command. Here is an example: remember to substitute the serial port with the one wich arduino is connected (usually /dev/ttyACM* or /dev/ttyUSB*) and to specify the right baud rate.
screen /dev/ttyACM0 9600
