A Go library for building command line applications.

## Features

- Advanced command line arguments handling
- Subcommand handling
- Short and long command line arguments
- Multiple arguments (repeated or delimited)
- Support for environment variables
- Well formatted usage printing
- Auto usage and version printing
- Unknown argument handling
- Output tables in the terminal
- Template support for config files
- No external dependency

## Installation

```shell
go get github.com/devfacet/gocmd/v3
```

## Usage

### A basic app

For the full code [click here](_examples/basic/main.go).

```go
func main() {
flags := struct {
Help bool `short:"h" long:"help" description:"Display usage" global:"true"`
Version bool `short:"v" long:"version" description:"Display version"`
VersionEx bool `long:"vv" description:"Display version (extended)"`
Echo struct {
Settings bool `settings:"true" allow-unknown-arg:"true"`
} `command:"echo" description:"Print arguments"`
Math struct {
Sqrt struct {
Number float64 `short:"n" long:"number" required:"true" description:"Number"`
} `command:"sqrt" description:"Calculate square root"`
Pow struct {
Base float64 `short:"b" long:"base" required:"true" description:"Base"`
Exponent float64 `short:"e" long:"exponent" required:"true" description:"Exponent"`
} `command:"pow" description:"Calculate base exponential"`
} `command:"math" description:"Math functions" nonempty:"true"`
}{}

// Echo command
gocmd.HandleFlag("Echo", func(cmd *gocmd.Cmd, args []string) error {
fmt.Printf("%s\n", strings.Join(cmd.FlagArgs("Echo")[1:], " "))
return nil
})

// Math commands
gocmd.HandleFlag("Math.Sqrt", func(cmd *gocmd.Cmd, args []string) error {
fmt.Println(math.Sqrt(flags.Math.Sqrt.Number))
return nil
})
gocmd.HandleFlag("Math.Pow", func(cmd *gocmd.Cmd, args []string) error {
fmt.Println(math.Pow(flags.Math.Pow.Base, flags.Math.Pow.Exponent))
return nil
})

// Init the app
gocmd.New(gocmd.Options{
Name: "basic",
Description: "A basic app",
Version: fmt.Sprintf("%s (%s)", version, gitCommit),
Flags: &flags,
ConfigType: gocmd.ConfigTypeAuto,
})
}
```
