cli is a simple, fast, and fun package for building command line apps in Go. The goal is to enable developers to write fast and distributable command line applications in an expressive way.
Usage documentation for v1 is available at the docs
site or in-tree at
./docs/v1/manual.md
Make sure you have a working Go environment. Go version 1.18+ is supported.
cli is tested against multiple versions of Go on Linux, and against the latest released version of Go on OS X and Windows. For full details, see ./.github/workflows/cli.yml.
You can use the following build tags:
When set, this removes ToMarkdown and ToMan methods, so your application
won't be able to call those. This reduces the resulting binary size by about
300-400 KB (measured using Go 1.18.1 on Linux/amd64), due to less dependencies.
