oclif is an open-source framework for building command-line interfaces in Node.js and TypeScript, created by Salesforce. This repository contains the oclif CLI itself, which scaffolds, builds, tests, and packages oclif-based CLIs and plugins.
Use cases
- build a cli in nodejs
- scaffold a new command line tool project
- create a cli with subcommands and flags
- package and release a cli for macos windows and linux
- make an extensible cli with plugins
- auto-generate documentation for cli commands
When to choose
- you are building a serious CLI in Node.js or TypeScript and want battle-tested tooling
- you need plugin extensibility, hooks, and auto-generated help out of the box
- you want to package and distribute native installers (deb, macos, win) for your CLI
When to avoid
- you need a CLI in a language other than JavaScript/TypeScript
- you want a minimal zero-dependency script rather than a full framework
- you are building a GUI or web application rather than a command-line tool
