About:
Cobra-cli is a command-line interface generator built on the Cobra library. It scaffolds complete Go applications and subcommands, providing a robust foundation for building modern CLI tools. This tool streamlines project setup, allowing developers to focus on application logic rather than boilerplate code.

Key Features:

Generates applications and commands with a single command
Creates POSIX-compliant flags and argument parsing
Generates shell completion scripts for bash, zsh, and fish
Integrates with Viper for configuration management

Use Cases:

Scaffolding new Go-based CLI applications from scratch
Adding subcommands and flags to existing Cobra projects
Generating shell autocompletion for end-user distribution

Alternatives:

urfave/cli – Declarative API vs Cobra's command generation approach
spf13/cobra – Direct library usage vs the dedicated generator tool
