Build CLI with cobra

Build a Go CLI with Cobra by installing the CLI generator, initializing a project, adding commands, and building the binary.

Initialize a new CLI project using the cobra-cli tool to generate the root command and main entry point.

  1. Install the Cobra CLI generator. go install github.com/spf13/cobra-cli@latest

  2. Generate a new project named myapp. cobra-cli init myapp

  3. Change into the new project directory. cd myapp

  4. Add a subcommand named run to the root command. cobra-cli add run

  5. Build the executable binary. go build -o myapp

  6. Run the CLI to verify the help output. ./myapp --help
