Creating CLI tools in Julia

satyabrata_pal · July 21, 2021, 3:44am

Hello everyone. I am trying to build CLI tool for my project. Is there any existing library/package in the Julia ecosystem which I can use.

One option is Comonicon.jl

Thanks @onetonfoot for pointing out this package. The example link mentioned in the README (https://github.com/comonicon/Comonicon.jl/blob/master/example/Ion) doesn’t seem to work.

Is there any other source where there are more examples on Comonicon ?

I’m afraid the docs are a little sparse, maybe this link will help. However, it was some time ago since I tried this so I’m not sure it will still work

maybe Fire.jl can help you here?

Cool. I will try it out then.

Is Fire.jl still actively maintained. The last activity on the repo 8 months ago I guess. I wanted to try it out but couldn’t decide as I thought that it’s no longer maintained.
