Goke - Task runner tool
I just curious, why not to use "flag" in that place? It easy and has "self-help/doc" ability. But if you might still prefer Cobra, take a look at Coral which is lightweight Cobra, but still, me too preferring as less as possible dependencies

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?

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.
