cli
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
Usage documentation exists for each major version
v1- ./docs/v1/manual.mdv2- 🚧 documentation forv2is WIP 🚧
Installation
Make sure you have a working Go environment. Go version 1.10+ is supported. See the install instructions for Go.
GOPATH
Make sure your PATH includes the $GOPATH/bin directory so your commands can
be easily used:
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin
Supported platforms
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
./.travis.yml and ./appveyor.yml.
Build tags
You can use the following build tags:
urfave_cli_no_docs
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.
