Best practices for distributing and updating a Go CLI on Linux?
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
- Which packages do you recommend for building cli tools?
- K3S Binary, How does that work?

I created a library for parsing environment variables "envparse"
I use https://github.com/urfave/cli for local development over cli parameter inside docker over envs

Testing cli tool with logging
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:
-
Golang - Writing CLI App in Golang with Cobra
There are alternatives available for Cobra as well i.e. mitchellh/cli, go-flags, urfave/cli etc.
-
ERC-20 CLI Faucet
https://github.com/urfave/cli - A Golang package used to structure the CLI.

issue with pflag flagset
My understanding is that you can use pflag as a drop in replacement of the standard lib's flag (import flag "github.com/spf13/pflag"). So it can be used as a standalone lib I suppose.

Which packages do you recommend for building cli tools?
I realy enjoyed the patched version from spf13 with "--" support https://github.com/spf13/pflag

Define custom command-line flag types in Go 1.19
Nice, but Cobra (with pflag underneath) is so, so better.
-
-h --help -help help --? -? ????
Not by default on stdlib. There are libraries available though - https://github.com/spf13/pflag

Coral, a friendly Cobra fork with nearly all its features, but only 4 dependencies
Flag functionality is provided by the pflag library, a fork of the flag standard library which maintains the same interface while adding POSIX compliance.
-
xflags: An approach to command line flags with support for subcommands, positional args, environment variables, etc.
How does it compare to https://github.com/spf13/pflag ?
-
The flag package: strange but good?
spf13 has a drop in pflag that does the - short and -- long flags.

What are your favorite packages to use?
oklog/ulid to generate IDs. coreos/go-oidc for validating JWTs I get from auth. google/go-cmp for comparing structs in tests (unless the project is already using Testify). spf13/pflag because life's too short for Go's flag handling. getkin/kin-openapi for validating reqests/responses against my OpenAPI spec (in tests).
-
akamensky/argparse: Argparse for Golang. Just because "flag" sucks!
What are the benefits of this package over the widely used spf13/pflag?
-
Go’s highly modular nature makes it particularly good for situations where requirements are changing or evolving.
