urfave/cli VS cobra

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.

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.

In this tutorial, we'll walk through the process of creating a simple command-line tool similar to curl using Go and Cobra, a CLI library for Go.

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.

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.

github.com/spf13/cobra

I looked at the docs: https://cobra.dev/ ... and there are only examples on how to add new flags.

For installing Cobra-CLI you can go to Cobraor run go install github.com/spf13/cobra-cli@latest in the terminal.

In my build phase, I compile the source to create a k3sup binary and I also run the binary to generate shell script completions. Give kudos to this functionality which comes from spf13/cobra Go library for CLIs.

NWA is a command-line tool built on cobra. Here's an overview of NWA's commands:
