This repo is for coordinating the work of the Rust CLI Working Group, also known as "Rust CLIQuE" (Rust CLI Quality Enhancement).
Let's make this a true statement:
Rust makes writing crossplatform, tested, modern command line applications frictionless while incorporating industry best practices and providing great documentation.
For our intents and purposes, a CLI is any program that
- Launches in a terminal
- Accepts configuration from various sources, such as command line arguments, environment variables, or configuration files
- Runs to completion with minimal/no user interaction
- Accepts input from
stdin, files, or network - Performs processing on some input (files, network,
stdin) based on the configuration specified - Communicates via standard outputs (files, network,
std{out,err})
(We specifically don't want to focus on "TUI" apps right now.)
