go-cli

Go CLI is a template project, that you can use to build your CLI Apps.

Usage

To create a new CLI application, you can do the following steps

APP=<appname>
DST=<repo-hoster>/<user>/$APP
mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/$DST
go get -u github.com/szuecs/go-cli
rsync -a --exclude=.git $GOPATH/src/github.com/szuecs/go-cli/ $GOPATH/src/$DST
cd $GOPATH/src/$DST
grep -rl go-cli | xargs sed -i "s@github.com/szuecs/go-cli@$DST@g"
grep -rl go-cli | xargs sed -i "s@go-cli@$APP@g"

The main package and function of the CLI app is in main.go. It parses flags, lookups ENV and merges the configuration to start your CLI application.

Configuring your client, use the following make target:

% make config
