How to make a CLI?

• bash-cli

  1 99 1.8 Shell

  A command line framework built using nothing but Bash and compatible with anything

  

I used this template repo to make a bash cli https://github.com/SierraSoftworks/bash-cli then I made a brew formula to make it installable. It provide a nice way to make a cli with nested commands like git. As others mentioned other languages like python have great support for making nice clis see https://typer.tiangolo.com/ for an example framework in python. I chose bash because packaging a python cli for a private brew package is a pain and 99% of what I needed the cli to do was inkoke other clis, so bash made sense for my case.
