# Go CLI Skeleton

A skeleton/template for writing Go CLI applications.

## What's included

- global logging via [zerolog](https://github.com/rs/zerolog) (JSON and human friendly)

- simple HTTP client via `net/http` package

- parsing JSON dynamically via [gjson](https://github.com/tidwall/gjson) and via unmarshalling with `structs`

- reading a file

- writing to a file

- reading directory content (optional recursively)

- reading from stdin (e.g. a Linux pipe)

- CLI commands, parameters and flags via [Kong](https://github.com/alecthomas/kong)

- only main package

- [Goreleaser](https://goreleaser.com/) workflow for automatic multi platform binary releases and Dockerhub images (allaman/go-cli-skeleton:latest or tag)

## What's not included

- sophisticated HTTP client

- parsing yaml, json, ... files

- modular file structure ([project-layout](https://github.com/golang-standards/project-layout))
