Overview

Cobra is a library providing a simple interface to create powerful modern CLI
interfaces similar to git & go tools.

Cobra is also an application that will generate your application scaffolding to rapidly
develop a Cobra-based application.

Cobra provides:

• Easy subcommand-based CLIs: app server, app fetch, etc.
• Fully POSIX-compliant flags (including short & long versions)
• Nested subcommands
• Global, local and cascading flags
• Easy generation of applications & commands with cobra init appname & cobra add cmdname
• Intelligent suggestions (app srver… did you mean app server?)
• Automatic help generation for commands and flags
• Automatic help flag recognition of -h, --help, etc.
• Automatically generated bash autocomplete for your application
• Automatically generated man pages for your application
• Command aliases so you can change things without breaking them
• The flexibility to define your own help, usage, etc.
• Optional tight integration with viper for 12-factor apps
