issue with pflag flagset
My understanding is that you can use pflag as a drop in replacement of the standard lib's flag (import flag "github.com/spf13/pflag"). So it can be used as a standalone lib I suppose.

Which packages do you recommend for building cli tools?
I realy enjoyed the patched version from spf13 with "--" support https://github.com/spf13/pflag

Define custom command-line flag types in Go 1.19
Nice, but Cobra (with pflag underneath) is so, so better.
-
-h --help -help help --? -? ????
Not by default on stdlib. There are libraries available though - https://github.com/spf13/pflag

Coral, a friendly Cobra fork with nearly all its features, but only 4 dependencies
Flag functionality is provided by the pflag library, a fork of the flag standard library which maintains the same interface while adding POSIX compliance.

xflags: An approach to command line flags with support for subcommands, positional args, environment variables, etc.
How does it compare to https://github.com/spf13/pflag ?

The flag package: strange but good?
spf13 has a drop in pflag that does the - short and -- long flags.

What are your favorite packages to use?
oklog/ulid to generate IDs. coreos/go-oidc for validating JWTs I get from auth. google/go-cmp for comparing structs in tests (unless the project is already using Testify). spf13/pflag because life's too short for Go's flag handling. getkin/kin-openapi for validating reqests/responses against my OpenAPI spec (in tests).

akamensky/argparse: Argparse for Golang. Just because "flag" sucks!
What are the benefits of this package over the widely used spf13/pflag?

Go’s highly modular nature makes it particularly good for situations where requirements are changing or evolving.

Authentication system using Golang and Sveltekit - Initialization and setup
It's some sort of logging system well explained by Alex Edwards in Let’s Go Further. As stated, we could have used logrus or any other popular logging system in Go.

Renaming public Go modules
Option 2, please. You may not have been around for the logrus debacle, but it was a giant pain.
- What is the common log library which is industry standard that is used in server applications?
-
Observing AWS Lambda with Golang and Datadog
For the example I’m using the very popular logrus library and then I’m setting the log formatter to be JSON
-
Best Logging Library for Golang
For choosing the candidates for the poll, I didn't do any thorough research. I was looking for a library to use in my project at work, and I ended up at sirupsen/logrus which was already being used by one of the dependencies in that project.

Follow up to previous post: I contributed to an open source project outside working hours despite being asked not to. I was fired. No legal action.
I contribute to OSS as part of my job on the regular. The company is good about contributing upstream, signing CLAs, and all that. We still work against private forks for two main reasons: 1. Some changes that we need are not accepted by maintainers based on philosophical or architectural reasons that we can’t otherwise work around. You’re beholden to then unless you publicly fork the repo which has other legal/PR overhead for the company and OSS political implications. 2. Maintainers in the past have taken down repos, renamed repos, or changed the licensing on repos that have left us in a lurch. We always build against our own private forks because we need predictability and can’t be beholden to some other party for business continuity. We sync them down from the public upstream at our leisure.

Sourcehut will blacklist the Go module mirror
If they change the case on their username on the other hand, the Go ecosystem explodes: https://github.com/sirupsen/logrus/issues/570#issuecomment-3...

Lies we tell ourselves to keep using Golang
Like, for example, some projects importing logrus with a capital L and some with a lowercase L, and go modules having no way to reconcile the two: https://github.com/sirupsen/logrus/issues/553

go-coffeeshop - A practical coffee shop application event-driven microservices built with Golang
Ugh. Wish people would stop using logrus. It’s in maintenance mode and slow, especially its stack tracing.
