Made my first command-line tool with Golang

• ascii-image-converter

  13 1,896 0.0 Go

  A cross-platform command-line tool to convert images into ascii art and print them on the console. Now supports braille art!

Also check GitHubs comminuty guidelines for projects ( https://github.com/TheZoraiz/ascii-image-converter/community ) for at least the contributing guide.

• cobra

  129 35,891 7.8 Go

  A Commander for modern Go CLI interactions

I'm using the cobra library to implement command-line functionality. All the flags are handed in cmd/root.go in this function.

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• kong

  9 1,813 7.6 Go

  Kong is a command-line parser for Go (by alecthomas)

I think it is probably just a matter of personal taste, but I like to handle params and flags on the main function. I am probably biased by C experience and using https://github.com/alecthomas/kong though. Kong is certainly not as popular as cobra, but its approach.

• changie

  26 582 8.9 Go

  Automated changelog tool for preparing releases with lots of customization options

To piggyback on GoReleaser I would recommend a few extra bits. Automated documentation of CLI using the cobra docs gen https://github.com/spf13/cobra/blob/master/doc/md\_docs.md, consider a CHANGELOG.md to track all changes over time ( self promotion https://github.com/miniscruff/changie which integrates with goreleaser ). Use github actions to automate all of the release processes.
