How do I go about designing a CLI for which others can write extensions?

• Cargo

  263 11,958 10.0 Rust

  The Rust package manager

  

You can see how others have created subcommands here.

• mdBook

  100 16,617 8.7 Rust

  Create book from markdown files. Like Gitbook but implemented in Rust

  

Rust's mdBook is built this way, sorta, but the extensibility pieces are built into the binary. In other words, files in the src/cmd folder stand alone (with some minor pointering in mod.rs). I'd like to see something that has true, OS-path extensibility.

• 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.
