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
