Which packages do you recommend for building cli tools?
https://github.com/jessevdk/go-flags provides a pretty neat way to specify flags and handle commands. Not so much extensible as cobra, but good enough for small cli tools

Show HN: New set of Go libraries for CLI Development
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.

Eclipse: python-fire inspired library to simplify creating CLIs in Go, on top of Cobra
Yeah, I just didn't need the command-subcommand scheme. I used the go-flags test file for examples: https://github.com/jessevdk/go-flags/blob/master/example_test.go

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:
