climate "CLI Mate": a CLI library that autogenerates CLIs from structs / functions with support for nested subcommands, global / local flags, help generation from godocs, typo suggestions, shell completion and more
I’ve been using https://github.com/alecthomas/kong for exposing generated protobuf structs for CLI args. How does your library compare?

Coral, a friendly Cobra fork with nearly all its features, but only 4 dependencies
We switched all our cli tools from cobra/viper to kong. I can highly recommend it. Almost no deps and easy to use, a great replacement for cobra in my opinion.

Recommended framework/library for creating cli apps in go?
I switched all from viper to kong.

I'm looking for a good alternativ to Viper
For all my commandline parsing and config loading needs I use kong. In contrast to Viper and Cobra it has almost no dependencies (while viper and cobra pull in half a jungle).

Made my first command-line tool with Golang
I think it is probably just a matter of personal taste, but I like to handle params and flags on the main function. I am probably biased by C experience and using https://github.com/alecthomas/kong though. Kong is certainly not as popular as cobra, but its approach.

Best practices for distributing and updating a Go CLI on Linux?
Can you use a framework like urfavecli https://github.com/urfave/cli? This will auto-update every time it detects a new version from your CLI's GitHub repository

- K3S Binary, How does that work?

I created a library for parsing environment variables "envparse"
I use https://github.com/urfave/cli for local development over cli parameter inside docker over envs

Testing cli tool with logging
and probably something else will be added in the future. The final kind of launch command would like to see such djob [options] - command. Command is the command (with arguments to run). -- should separate the arguments of the utility from the arguments of the program to run. There are several excellent solutions for working with command-line arguments, such as spf13/cobra or urfave/cli. But they’re good for building an interface out of a lot of commands, and for one (as in my example) they’re redundant. So I used the flag library. I have defined the following structure with arguments:
