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.

Project mention: Best practices for distributing and updating a Go CLI on Linux? | /r/golang | 2023-05-18
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

TUI’s are awesome; I’ve used this library to build them in the past: https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea
For a sufficiently-complex system, a CLI client just isn’t as powerful as a live “console”. A TUI can play the part and you don’t have to venture into the web SPA world.

Project mention: Pg_branch: Pre-alpha Postgres extension brings Neon-like branching | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-10-01
Interesting that branching is now better supported and almost free. I wonder if merging can be simplified or whether it already is as simple and as fast as it can be?
I guess I am inspired by Dolt’s ability to branch and merge: https://github.com/dolthub/dolt

This does remind me of ctop as well: https://github.com/bcicen/ctop
It also let's you look at containers, resource usage graphs, their logs and even do some actions through a TUI.

Rich Interactive Widgets for Terminal UIs
Terminal UI library with rich, interactive widgets — written in Golang
Project mention: Picnic-TUI - Where Go and Groceries Create a Command-Line Feast | dev.to | 2023-09-12Spotify-TUI was developed in Rust, therefore I couldn’t simply use the same UI framework. Within Go a popular choice is tview https://github.com/rivo/tview which provides many similar UI widgets which covered all my needs.

miller
Miller is like awk, sed, cut, join, and sort for name-indexed data such as CSV, TSV, and tabular JSON
jq and miller[1] are essential parts of my toolbelt, right up there with awk and vim.

So i have a cli tool thats outputting some text to the cli stdout, i would like the output to be colored, so i used a library called color (github.com/fatih/color), basically the problem is when i output to stdout its fine but when i do something like ./tool | tee -a file.txt the colors disappear from terminal and also not in the output file, why is that and how do i prevent that ?

Project mention: Yazi: Fast terminal file manager based on async I/O | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-15
I've tried using LF in the past, but it didn't stick. Will definitely give this a go, as I'm trying to move to an pure terminal workflow as closely as possible.

Project mention: A Java library to work with the ANSI OSC52 terminal sequence. | /r/java | 2023-06-21
I saw https://github.com/charmbracelet/lipgloss and was wondering if there is anything equivalent in the JVM ecosystem. I couldn't find anything so I started crawling its deps tree and reimplementing to fall asleep at night.
