💖 COBRA-CLI-ADD 💖

okay so this is cobra-cli-add from the Cobra Manual (man page COBRA-CLI-ADD(1), bestie, we're doing this) — and literally it's the command that gives your CLI app a brand new baby subcommand. it's giving main character energy for your project structure. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

cobra-cli-add — Add a command to a Cobra Application

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

cobra add [COMMAND NAME] [OPTIONS]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like. cobra-cli add (yes, the binary is cobra-cli, the subcommand is add, we contain multitudes) will create a new command, with a license and the appropriate structure for a Cobra-based CLI application, and register it to its parent (default RootCmd). no cap, it literally scaffolds the whole thing for you. 💅

if you want your command to be public, pass in the command name with an initial uppercase letter. that's the vibe check — capital letter = public, lowercase = private. iykyk. 🔥

example, and yes this is exact:

cobra-cli add server -> resulting in a new cmd/server.go

slay. a whole file. just like that. ✨

👑 ALIASES 👑

add, command

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -h, --help — help for add. your little safety net, we love her. 🫶
  • -p, --parent string — variable name of parent command for this command (default "rootCmd"). this is who your new command calls mom. 🍼

🌈 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMAND 🌈

these come from the parent, not from add itself, so don't come for me about it bestie, i'm just relaying the facts:

  • -a, --author string — author name for copyright attribution (default "YOUR NAME"). yes literally the default is YOUR NAME, they're not gonna fill it in for you 😭
  • --config string — config file (default is $HOME/.cobra.yaml). it lives in your home dir, iconic behavior. 🏠
  • -l, --license string — name of license for the project. pick one, any one, but like, pick one. ⭐
  • --viper — Use Viper for configuration. turn this on if you want that config-management energy. 🐍
