Create a new package. Then in the root put your options in a file called `Comonicon.toml`

```julia
name = "my-cli"

[install]
export_path=true
completion=true
quiet=false
compile="min"
optimize=2

```

In `deps/build.jl` put

```julia
using Comonicon, MyPackage
Comonicon.install(MyPackage)

```

Then in `src/MyPackage.jl`

```julia
module ContainerCLI

using Comonicon, Pkg.TOML, SimpleContainerGenerator, Logging

@main function my_cli(x::String)
   print("Hello from my cli $x")
end

end # module

```
