CLI Apps

CLI apps or so called command line apps are a fantastic way to learn language features and also to do some cool stuffs.

Learning Resources to build them from scratch

• JavaScript (Node)
• Python
• Go
• C/C++

Popular packages

Even though it is totally possible to build any CLI app with your bare hands(which we highly reccomend during initial learning phase) you can use some of the below packages to make your life little more easier

• yargs - JavaScript
• meow - JavaScript
• cli - Go
• click - Python
• TTY - Ruby

Example projects
