Fang is a Go library that wraps Cobra CLI applications with batteries-included styling and features. It provides styled help and error output, automatic version flags, shell completions, and manpage generation with minimal setup.
Use cases
- add styled help output to my cobra cli
- generate shell completions for a go command-line tool
- auto-generate manpages for my cli app
- add a --version flag to my go cli
- make cli error messages look nicer
- theme my command-line tool's help pages
When to avoid
- you don't use Cobra for your CLI
- you need fine-grained control over help rendering or a non-Cobra framework
