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?
-
Which packages do you recommend for building cli tools?
I prefer https://github.com/alecthomas/kong these days
- I'm looking for a library that can parse through a string and pickup parameters and add it to a golang object

Golang equivalent of Python’s click (CLT framework)

- Python library cmd2 equivalent in golang

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.
What are some alternatives?
cortana - cortana gives you a new style to write command line programs
cobra - A Commander for modern Go CLI interactions
flaggy - Idiomatic Go input parsing with subcommands, positional values, and flags at any position. No required project or package layout and no external dependencies.
