If you want to connect using a command, use the [sqlcmd] command.
[sqlcmd] is no longer included in SSMS 18, so if you want to use it, you will need to install it separately.
You can install [sqlcmd] by launching PowerShell and executing the following command.
⇒ PS> winget install sqlcmd

If you install the sqlcmd command, you can also connect to SQL Server using CUI.
