CLI #2

Closed damianoneill closed 6 years ago

"Cobra is a really clean package. I wish my own CLI library was as good!" - Jeremy Saenz (author of codegangsta/cli)

Kube, Openshift and most of our golang utilities have moved from urfave to cobra over the last 12 months. Worth checking it out.

will move to this.

To save you some time, cobra includes a cmd line generator as part of the package that will generate the boilerplate for your cli. See here https://github.com/spf13/cobra/blob/master/cobra/README.md

If you are going to use Cobra, you should consider https://github.com/spf13/viper (sister project) for configuration. I assume we will want to do a fair bit of configuration via the environment? If so viper makes this very easy in go.

If you are going to look at Viper, see https://github.com/theherk/viper fork which includes the ability to write the configuration to a local file system, not just reading the configuration.

Thank you for info. I'm already using viper for configuration.
