snob VS urfave/cli

Following up on this post about Snob, let's dive a bit deeper on how it was done and get a better overview from a development perspective.

Joining this idea with the fact that I wanted to practice more of Go, I created Snob - A simple CLI that fetches movies and TV shows info, written in Go:

Can you use a framework like urfavecli https://github.com/urfave/cli? This will auto-update every time it detects a new version from your CLI's GitHub repository

I use https://github.com/urfave/cli for local development over cli parameter inside docker over envs

urfave/cli - A simple, fast, and fun package for building command line apps in Go;

and probably something else will be added in the future. The final kind of launch command would like to see such djob [options] - command. Command is the command (with arguments to run). -- should separate the arguments of the utility from the arguments of the program to run. There are several excellent solutions for working with command-line arguments, such as spf13/cobra or urfave/cli. But they’re good for building an interface out of a lot of commands, and for one (as in my example) they’re redundant. So I used the flag library. I have defined the following structure with arguments:

There are alternatives available for Cobra as well i.e. mitchellh/cli, go-flags, urfave/cli etc.
