var NewAeNode = func() *aeternity.Node {
	return aeternity.NewNode(aeternity.Config.Node.URL, debug)
}

NewAeNode is just a helper function that gives you a Node so that you don't have to maintain a Node global variable (which needs the config vars to be read immediately, with this helper function you can defer the reading of the variables until the subcommand's execution) Defined as a var so unittests can mock this function out.

var NewCompiler = func() *aeternity.Compiler {
	return aeternity.NewCompiler(compilerURL, debug)
}

NewCompiler is just a helper function that gives you a Compiler so that you don't have to maintain a Compiler global variable (which needs the config vars to be read immediately, with this helper function you can defer the reading of the variables until the subcommand's execution) Defined as a var so unittests can mock this function out.

var RootCmd = &cobra.Command{
	Use:   "aecli",
	Short: "The command line client for the Aeternity blockchain",
	Long:  ``,
}

RootCmd represents the base command when called without any subcommands
