    This library wraps the readline library (described below) and leverages cobra commands in order to provide a closed-loop console working with cobra commands out of the box, also providing many comfort-of-life features at minimum cost, like support for oh-my-posh prompt engines, different menus and much more.

    Readline (https://github.com/reeflective/readline) Readline libraries in pure Go already exist, and the chzyer/readline one is widely used. However they might lack some features, or even a full-fledged Emacs/Vim edition mode. Most of them lack many UI features found in common shells. Readline has been written to bring a new shell library with features found in most recent shells, with a simple API for developpers.
