cli is a simple, fast, and fun package for building command line apps in Go. The goal is to enable developers to write fast and distributable command line applications in an expressive way.
Usage documentation exists for each major version. Don't know what version you're on? You're probably using the version from the master branch, which is currently v2.
v2- ./docs/v2/manual.mdv1- ./docs/v1/manual.md
Make sure you have a working Go environment. Go version 1.11+ is supported. See the install instructions for Go.
Go Modules are strongly recommended when using this package. See the go blog guide on using Go Modules.

be easily used:
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin
cli is tested against multiple versions of Go on Linux, and against the latest released version of Go on OS X and Windows. This project uses Github Actions for builds. For more build info, please look at the ./.github/workflows/cli.yml.
