# sdoc
[](https://travis-ci.org/matthewwoodruff/sdoc) [](https://deps.rs/repo/github/matthewwoodruff/sdoc) [](https://crates.io/crates/sdoc)
A framework for building custom CLIs around shell and executables. Commands are defined in yaml and can be sub-commands, shell, or an executable. By convention your root yaml file lives in a directory named the same as your cli name and sub-command configuration in sub directories following the same pattern.
## Install
##### Homebrew
```
brew tap matthewwoodruff/sdoc https://github.com/matthewwoodruff/sdoc
brew install sdoc
```
##### Cargo
```
cargo install sdoc
```
##### Manual
You can download the binary from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/matthewwoodruff/sdoc/releases) and add to your `$PATH`
## Create CLI
- Create a new directory for your CLI `mkdir `
- Execute `sdoc init` and follow the prompts
- Your CLI will be available by executing `./bin/`
- Modify `.//commands.yaml` to add custom commands and sub-commands
##### Example
see https://github.com/matthewwoodruff/sdoc/tree/master/tests/data/example-cli for an example cli configuration.
