  • go-flags

    go command line option parser

    Yeah, I just didn't need the command-subcommand scheme. I used the go-flags test file for examples: https://github.com/jessevdk/go-flags/blob/master/example_test.go

  • eclipse

    Discontinued python-fire inspired library to simplify creating CLIs in Go, built on top of Cobra [Moved to: https://github.com/avamsi/clifr]

  • WorkOS

    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.

  • Python Fire

    Python Fire is a library for automatically generating command line interfaces (CLIs) from absolutely any Python object.

    I'm relatively new to Go (coming from Python) so I haven't been using Cobra (or Go, for that matter) for long but it's clearly very polished -- only friction I was experiencing with it is there's a lot of boilerplate to creating commands and subcommands, that IMO (idea as proven by python-fire) can be naturally (better) expressed as types / fields / methods that are already built into the language.
