Looking for a tutorial or a resource to write good looking CLI applications
Saw just now. Cobra is huge and offers a lot. Btw, I've used this https://github.com/piotrmurach/tty for a Ruby project a while ago and was looking for something similar. I guess Cobra it is. Thanks again!

Just: A Command Runner
I use https://github.com/davetron5000/gli for this, since I work in ruby. Adding something like just or gli to your project is a huge win. Every dev can just `just update_db` to refresh their dev db, `just update_secrets` to update dev secrets. Whatever. So much better than putting snippets in a wiki or whatever.
I like gli because it gives you subcommands, like `gli database refresh` etc.
