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
Args could also have detailed help (like flags) -- usage line is already auto-generated from arg(s) name and type but that's about it. This is something Cobra doesn't do for whatever reason (but https://github.com/alecthomas/kingpin does and I like it)
- What is the best way to handle flags?
