A Go library for building interactive CLI applications with a REPL-style shell. It provides command registration, password input, multiline input, multiple-choice prompts, and interrupt handling.

Use cases

  • build an interactive shell for my go cli app
  • create a repl-style command prompt in go
  • read passwords securely from the terminal
  • add multiline input to a command-line tool
  • implement multiple choice prompts in a cli
  • handle ctrl-c interrupts in an interactive shell

When to choose

  • you are writing a Go CLI that needs an interactive command loop
  • you want built-in readline features like password masking and multiline input
  • you want a simple API to register shell commands with help text

When to avoid

  • you need a non-interactive one-shot CLI (use cobra or urfave/cli instead)
  • your project is not in Go
  • you need a full POSIX shell or scripting environment
