Recursively clone Gitlab Projects - Practice Project
Rather than get too far into the weeds with building a query through that library, it was ok to just query for every repo in the org and use https://github.com/AlecAivazis/survey to let the user filter at the command line. Might or might not be an idea to play with - it was _fun_ to see a couple of strong open source efforts play together /shrug :)

Survey library
I'm coming from the go world, where I loved the survey library. I was wondering, whether rust has a similar one.

How do I move the terminal cursor cross-platform?
I am looking for a way to move the terminal cursor in different directions. (like Up(n), Left(n), Right(n), etc.) I could do this with ANSI escape codes, but Windows CMD doesn't handle that well. Unfortunately, I can't find a library that runs well on Windows and Linux. Survey does handle that pretty good, for their interactive CLI functions like dropdowns etc. but I don't want to "steal" their code. Also, their implementation is very customized to fit to the project, which makes it hard to isolate the code for moving the cursor. Does anybody know a light way to do this? (I would also happily take a library suggestion!) Thanks in advance!

Kure - CLI password manager
Thank you so much! The library is called Survey (which uses a package called terminal). It also allows you to use 'hjkl' like Vim.

The power of the CLI with Golang and Cobra CLI
We can use the flag with --date or -date, Go already does the automatic check. We can make our entire boilerplate with this approach, but let's make it a little easier and use the Cobra CLI package.

Scripts should be written using the project main language
I use https://github.com/spf13/cobra religiously for this kind of thing - it handles all the annoying corner cases of parsing flags, and also has an intuitive notion of subcommands (with basic usage/help text generated) for picking which task you want to run with positional arguments.

Command Line Interface Guidelines
We recently chose cobra[1] to create a cli application. It comes with so many best practices already packaged like autocompletions, help texts etc. etc.
