cookiecutter-golang-cli

A template powered by cookiecutter for building a command-line interface in Golang using the cli framework. If you know me professionally - you know I love writing scripts/cli/programs to automate my development and operational workflow. I find myself copying a bunch of stuff from different projects - so this template reflects the typical cli project I would create. Buyer Beware - alot of the choice I make in this project is personal preference!

See this repo for an example project generated from the most recent version of the template.

After the cookiecutter dependancy is available in your path - you can run the following:
