Building the Future of the Command Line

• docopt

  29 7,894 0.0 Python

  This project is no longer maintained. Please see https://github.com/jazzband/docopt-ng

  

It doesn't scale especially well to UIs with tens of subcommands, but I'm a fan of Docopt as a reasonable way to write basic CLI interfaces in many languages with a minimum of fuss:

The future of the command line is something along the lines of what these guys are doing:

• arcan

  33 1,491 8.2 C

  Arcan - [Display Server, Multimedia Framework, Game Engine] -> "Desktop Engine"

How about Arcan? [0]

It seems very well reasoned, has stable API, excellent backwards compatibility and does not require GPU and i5 as this one might? Its author also has proven record and actual experience, which I'm not sure authors hpf TFA have, judging solely from their writing.

• autocomplete

  164 24,255 9.6 TypeScript

  IDE-style autocomplete for your existing terminal & shell

  

• resholve

  11 206 7.7 Python

  a shell resolver? :) (find and resolve shell script dependencies)

Completions have in general been of interest, though the shell-specific completions I've looked at so far were all too dynamic.

I'd forgotten all about Fig since I saw your launch post here last year, so thanks for reminder. (I don't think I had quite started to work on parsing specific external commands, yet. Was still focused on just identifying the likely presence of exec in the executables.)

Are you familiar with the parse code? Are you handling painful stuff like combined short flags with a trailing option? (If I ferreted out some of the more painful cases I've had to wrangle, I am curious if you'd have a gut sense of whether your approach handles it. Would you mind if I reach out? I am working on this for https://github.com/abathur/resholve)

• Crescendo

Is this the Crescendo you meant https://github.com/PowerShell/Crescendo ?
