  Updating dependencies is time-consuming.. Solutions like Dependabot or Renovate update but don't merge dependencies. You need to do it manually while it could be fully automated! Add a Merge Queue to your workflow and stop caring about PR management & merging. Try Mergify for free.

  

• pflag

  3 2,195 0.0 Go

  Drop-in replacement for Go's flag package, implementing POSIX/GNU-style --flags.

  I realy enjoyed the patched version from spf13 with "--" support https://github.com/spf13/pflag

• go-flags

  4 2,443 0.0 Go

  go command line option parser

  https://github.com/jessevdk/go-flags provides a pretty neat way to specify flags and handle commands. Not so much extensible as cobra, but good enough for small cli tools
