  • CLI11

    CLI11 is a command line parser for C++11 and beyond that provides a rich feature set with a simple and intuitive interface.

    • I found https://github.com/jarro2783/cxxopts to be useful and https://github.com/CLIUtils/CLI11 to be really helpful if you need an non-trivial interface.
