Hi, this is my first ever dev blog. I was thinking about writing a dev blog. A couple of days ago I received my Hacktoberfest 2020 swags and my thoughts were changed to writing about my Hacktoberfest 2020 experience even four months after the 2020 Hacktoberfest. I have participated in hacktoberfest in order to receive the free swags but later I realized that to receive the swags I need to submit four valid pull request. I have heard about the term pull request but I have never submitted one. I have then started reading blogs about submitting a pull request on Github. Understanding how to submit a pull request was easy more challenging was selecting the right repository to contribute. Finally, I choose the repo awsome-resources by Shahed Nasser (https://github.com/shahednasser/awesome-resources). This repo is all about a collection of technical resources. I have submitted almost 6 valid pull request and wrote myself a technical blog and added to the repo. This took a while and I have to give much of my effort and time. From the Hacktoberfest I learned that the swags are a token of appreciation for the effort taken by everyone during the entire program. All the beginners reading this post never participate in any program only to receive swags and a certificate. Give your effort and hard work this can bring you never-ending happiness and motivation to do more in your life. This is what I learned form Hacktoberfest 2020. Thanks for reading All suggestions and supports are welcome.

However, not everyone is able to help big projects, and a lot of people resort to smaller and simple projects. Also, I wanted to create a project that would be helpful long after Hacktoberfest. That's when I started my project Awesome Resources.

I like this one for .NET https://github.com/spectreconsole/spectre.console which I found in this list https://github.com/shadawck/awesome-cli-frameworks.

Done! But before you start this project for yourself, take into consideration that Clack is really lacking in the documentation. Anything fairly complex, you won’t benefit from the pre-made components of clack/prompts. Here's a list of other CLI frameworks you can use instead.

Oclif was one I used a while back but, last I tried it (a couple of months ago), there were either technical or documentation issues that made it a challenge to get started. It sounded like they were in the middle of fixes though so that might be worth a look. Combined with a solid HTTP package like axios, that would be a good leg up if you are proficient in JS.

Good list of options here:

Thor looks great! I'd be surprised if something similar didn't exist for most languages, but with many of them living in obscurity because discovery is so hard without a well-established name for that class of tool. Some googling for "CLI framework" led me to oclif ("Thor for js"?) and to https://www.nexmo.com/legacy-blog/2020/06/12/comparing-cli-b... , but that can't be everything.

PS: https://github.com/shadawck/awesome-cli-frameworks also lists some for go and rust, getting there! (though most probably not half as complete as Thor, self-documentation should definitely be a first-class citizen!)
