# CLI working group

This repo is for coordinating the work of the Rust CLI Working Group,

also known as "Rust CLIQuE" (Rust CLI Quality Enhancement).

- [Working groups?](https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/announcing-the-2018-domain-working-groups/6737)

- [Announcement of this WG](https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/announcing-the-cli-working-group/6872/1)

- Chat with us on [Zulip](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/220302-wg-cli)

## Vision

Let's make this a true statement:

Rust makes writing crossplatform, tested, modern command line applications frictionless

while incorporating industry best practices and providing great documentation.

## Role of WG-CLI

- Identify gaps between here and the vision

- Mentoring people working to fill the gaps

- Keeping the lights on for core CLI crates

- Venue for CLI authors to collaborate

## Focus Areas

- [Argument parsing](https://github.com/rust-cli/team/labels/A-argparse)

  - [argpaerse-rosetta-rs](https://github.com/rosetta-rs/argparse-rosetta-rs)

- [Ease of solving CLI related problems (e.g. filesystem interactions)](https://github.com/rust-cli/team/labels/A-ergonomics)

- [Terminal output styling](https://github.com/rust-cli/team/labels/A-styling)

- [Interactive terminal (prompts, progress bars)](https://github.com/rust-cli/team/labels/A-interaction)

- [TUI (full control of terminal)](https://github.com/rust-cli/team/labels/A-tui)

- [Program diagnostics (errors, panics, logging, etc)](https://github.com/rust-cli/team/labels/A-diagnostic)

- [Configuration management](https://github.com/rust-cli/team/labels/A-config)

- [One-shot testing of CLIs (no interaction)](https://github.com/rust-cli/team/labels/A-testing-cli)

  - [assert_cmd](https://github.com/assert-rs/assert_cmd) / [assert_fs](https://github.com/assert-rs/assert_cmd)

  - [snapbox](https://github.com/assert-rs/trycmd/tree/main/crates/snapbox)

  - [trycmd](https://github.com/assert-rs/trycmd/)

- [Testing of time and user dependent CLIs](https://github.com/rust-cli/team/labels/A-testing-tui)

- [Documenting your CLI (e.g. man pages)](https://github.com/rust-cli/team/labels/A-doc)

- [Licensing, packaging, etc](https://github.com/rust-cli/team/labels/A-distribution)

- [Documenting how to create CLIs](https://github.com/rust-cli/team/labels/A-book)

  - [book](https://github.com/rust-cli/book)

While most of these cross-domains with GUIs, web backends, etc, they are also commonly in the critical path a CLI and so in-scope.
