cmdgen is a command line program which reads a definition of commands and arguments, provided by an xml file, and generates the necessary code to stub out CLI program that takes those commands and arguments.

Commands form a tree-like structure, and should be familiar to most from git. For example this:

```

git remote add origin https://github.com/webern/cmdgen.git

^   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

program   commands                argument(s)

```

This can be specified and generated with xml that looks like this:

```xml

  git

  

    

      remote

      

        origin

        

          

            1

            1

            string

          

        

      

    

  

```

You can then stub out the program with `cmdgen -i config.xml`
