Creating a CLI in C++

• cmake-project-template

  1 843 5.5 C++

  This project is aimed at jump-starting a C/C++ project that can build libraries, binaries and have a working unit test suite. It uses CMake build system and is deliberately completely minimal.

What general file structure would I use? I am considering using a CMake template like this. Are there better templates, or should I avoid this approach entirely?

• fire-hpp

  2 446 0.0 C++

  A C++ library that uses clever tricks to create super low-code, yet fully functional CLIs

I am considering using a CLI generator like this. How could I add these commands to my shell? Here, we are simply calling cpp output files (e.g. ./add -x=1 -y=2, where add is a built file). What if I wanted all my commands to be visible elsewhere and with a prefix (e.g. math add -x=1 -y=2)?

• CLI11

  12 3,087 8.5 C++

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

  

I'd recommend to use CLI11. I was baffled by how much it can do.
