That's it.\n\n### Step 1: Execute the executable from a CLI\n\nKinda self-explanatory, ain't it?\n\n### Step 3: Gotta catch 'em all!\n\nYou're in the PokeText CLI. Remember to use the `help` command if you're ever stuck\n\n# Compiling\nEasy peasy.\n\n```bash\n  git clone https://github.com/shahank42/poketext.git\n  cd poketext\n  go build \u0026\u0026 ./poketext\n```\n\nThis is for Loonix.\nDo the corresponding thing if you're on Windows or some other OS.\n\n# Why Even Bother With Something Like This?\nThat's exactly what I asked myself before I started. Like everyone else, I dismissed the idea of creating a CLI Pokedex because, well, it seemed too easy and not \"cool enough\". But then I realized that despite how much I keep touting about Golang I didn't have any proper project written in it.\nWelp time to change that. I was gonna finish this seemingly easy project in one night.\n\nIt was more involved than I expected it to be. Not anything too difficult, but yeah definitely a good exercise of the brain.\n\nHere are the things I learned along the way:\n- Golang's package system for organizing code (which I absolutely love)\n- Writing my own \u003ca href=\"https://github.com/shahank42/poketext/blob/main/internal/pokecache/cache.go\"\u003ecache\u003c/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https://github.com/shahank42/poketext/blob/main/internal/pokeapi/fetch.go\"\u003ecache middleware\u003c/a\u003e (yep, from scratch)\n- How to think in the Golang way (can't really elaborate much on it, Go code has a certain feel to it which you can sense once you actually write a lot of it)\n- Write code faster (I was practising using NeoVim so lmao)\n\nOverall it's nice, maybe I can keep on developing it and add a bunch of cool features if I get enough willpower and motivation.\n\n# Contributing\nLol idk why anyone would, but sure any contributions are welcome.\n\nMaybe you're also learning Golang and are diving into open-source contributions? Well then PokeText can act as a cool first repository, just imagine contributing to some stranger's project :-)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fshahank42%2Fpoketext","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fshahank42%2Fpoketext","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fshahank42%2Fpoketext/lists"}
