gocli

Simple, pure Go command line interface (cli) library

It wraps the (pure Go) line editor Liner (peterh/liner) and adds:

• command registration with callbacks and short description
• automatic history
• automatic tab completion
• running a REPL-ish loop

A few (currently) built-in defaults:

• whitespaces in commands are not allowed
• the tab completer will complete non-ambiguous but incomplete commands while preserving all arguments
• options registered with empty help message won't show up in help list

Roadmapped for after the initial release:

• nested contexts

(May or may not be idiomatic Go, the author is just a pedestrian hacker messing around with an interesting new programming language)
