Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.
go-envconfig
- PHP to Golang
-
Beginner-friendly API made with Go following hexagonal architecture.
Also, I put config in the package that needs it using something like this instead of Viper: https://github.com/sethvargo/go-envconfig And then at the entry point make another config that includes all the structs from the packages and inject them after bulk reading in. The beauty of this is I can take a package for reuse and drop it into another project. It’s errors and config are right there with it. Also this reduces cognitive load of trying to find everything in big projects (or dig through a 1000 lines in a centralized location).

- 'Discoverable' Environment Variables for Configuration

Loading environment variables properly in Go with env and gotdotenv
Env files are horrible. I recommend https://github.com/sethvargo/go-envconfig
- I'm looking for a good alternativ to Viper

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?
conf - Package conf provides support for using environmental variables and command line arguments for configuration.
cobra - A Commander for modern Go CLI interactions
godotenv - A Go port of Ruby's dotenv library (Loads environment variables from .env files)
kingpin - CONTRIBUTIONS ONLY: A Go (golang) command line and flag parser
env - A simple and zero-dependencies library to parse environment variables into structs
go-flags - go command line option parser
cleanenv - ✨Clean and minimalistic environment configuration reader for Golang
viper - Go configuration with fangs
urfave/cli - A simple, fast, and fun package for building command line apps in Go
ff - Flags-first package for configuration
cli - CLI - A package for building command line app with go
