mitchellh/cli VS rclone

Golang with https://github.com/mitchellh/cli.

There are alternatives available for Cobra as well i.e. mitchellh/cli, go-flags, urfave/cli etc.

I use https://github.com/mitchellh/cli Its used in Terraform.

A good base for making cli apps is https://github.com/mitchellh/cli

Actually I use https://github.com/mitchellh/cli to create a cli for a larger project. I like it because its small and easy to use. This lib is used in terraform. So its mature and reliable enough for me :-)

While browsing through the implementation of https://github.com/mitchellh/cli, I noticed some patterns that made me wonder.

rclone: a command-line program to manage files on cloud storage.

Synchronise buckets with Sclone or Rclone

Says that Apple doesn't provide a multi platform API. It doesn't provide any official supported way to access iCloud from Windows, Linux.

There's a ticket covering everything you might ever want to know:

seconding rsync and syncthing.

the server could expose an smb or nfs share, the client could mount it, and then sync to that mount.

rsync over ssh also works, if you do not want to run smb/nfs.

this is also a cool tool https://rclone.org/

rclone [1] to dropbox. works since years without problems

rclone provides a special pCloud config option, which makes the setup straight forward. rclone can encrypt the data it uploads with its own encryption but not with the pCloud encryption. Therefore it can only upload data to the unencrypted pCloud folders, not to the Crypto Folder.

The arkclone project impliments rclone in ArkOS to achieve cloud saves. Not yet built in to ArkOS yet, and not a lot of recent traction on the pull request to get it added, but it can be installed manually.
