Guaka is a Swift framework for building POSIX-compliant command-line applications, inspired by Go's Cobra package. It also ships a generator CLI to bootstrap new Guaka-based projects quickly.

Use cases

  • build a CLI app in Swift
  • parse command-line flags and subcommands
  • generate a Swift CLI project scaffold
  • create Docker-style CLI tools with subcommands
  • handle short and long POSIX flags in Swift

When to choose

  • you are writing a command-line tool in Swift
  • you want a Cobra-like API with POSIX-compliant flag parsing
  • you need a lightweight, statically linkable CLI framework

When to avoid

  • you need a framework with recent active development and releases
  • you are not using Swift
  • you need Windows support
