    Cobra has lots of features, but is really complex and intrusive, especially for a newcomer. I would advise you to have a look at clap (https://github.com/fred1268/go-clap) which is very easy to use and absolutely non intrusive. All you need to do is to create a struct containing the fields you want to retrieve from the command line, and annotate it with standard Go tags.
  • convert interface{} to []interface{}

    For some in depth examples on how to use reflection in Go and transform types into others, I would suggest you to have a look at clap, the Command Line Argument Parser, and more specifically this file.

  • Show HN: New set of Go libraries for CLI Development
    5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 11 Jan 2023
    Hello everyone,

    I've just released three different libraries aimed at either enhancing or facilitating CLI application development.

    Flags (https://github.com/reeflective/flags)

  • Libraries for CLI and console applications
    6 projects | /r/golang | 7 Jan 2023
    Flags (https://github.com/reeflective/flags) flags aims to merge the concepts from https://github.com/jessevdk/go-flags, and https://github.com/octago/sflags, both relying on struct tags to define CLI command specs. The flags library uses these underlying concepts to produce complete `cobra.Command` trees, and brings many comfort-of-life improvements for the generated applications/commands.
