1 # User Guide |
|
2 |
|
3 While you are welcome to provide your own organization, typically a Cobra-based |
|
4 application will follow the following organizational structure: |
|
5 |
|
6 ``` |
|
7 ▾ appName/ |
|
8 ▾ cmd/ |
|
9 add.go |
|
10 your.go |
|
11 commands.go |
|
12 here.go |
|
13 main.go |
|
14 ``` |
|
15 |
|
16 In a Cobra app, typically the main.go file is very bare. It serves one purpose: initializing Cobra. |
|
17 |
|
18 ```go |
|
19 package main |
|
20 |
|
21 import ( |
|
22 "{pathToYourApp}/cmd" |
|
23 ) |
|
24 |
|
25 func main() { |
|
26 cmd.Execute() |
|
27 } |
|
28 ``` |
|
29 |
|
30 ## Using the Cobra Generator |
|
31 |
|
32 Cobra provides its own program that will create your application and add any |
|
33 commands you want. It's the easiest way to incorporate Cobra into your application. |
|
34 |
|
35 [Here](https://github.com/spf13/cobra/blob/master/cobra/README.md) you can find more information about it. |
|
36 |
|
37 ## Using the Cobra Library |
|
38 |
|
39 To manually implement Cobra you need to create a bare main.go file and a rootCmd file. |
|
40 You will optionally provide additional commands as you see fit. |
|
41 |
|
42 ### Create rootCmd |
|
43 |
|
44 Cobra doesn't require any special constructors. Simply create your commands. |
|
45 |
|
46 Ideally you place this in app/cmd/root.go: |
|
47 |
|
48 ```go |
|
49 var rootCmd = &cobra.Command{ |
|
50 Use: "hugo", |
|
51 Short: "Hugo is a very fast static site generator", |
|
52 Long: `A Fast and Flexible Static Site Generator built with |
|
53 love by spf13 and friends in Go. |
|
54 Complete documentation is available at http://hugo.spf13.com`, |
|
55 Run: func(cmd *cobra.Command, args []string) { |
|
56 // Do Stuff Here |
|
57 }, |
|
58 } |
|
59 |
|
60 func Execute() { |
|
61 if err := rootCmd.Execute(); err != nil { |
|
62 fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, err) |
|
63 os.Exit(1) |
|
64 } |
|
65 } |
|
66 ``` |
|
67 |
|
68 You will additionally define flags and handle configuration in your init() function. |
|
69 |
|
70 For example cmd/root.go: |
|
71 |
|
72 ```go |
|
73 package cmd |
|
74 |
|
75 import ( |
|
76 "fmt" |
|
77 "os" |
|
78 |
|
79 "github.com/spf13/cobra" |
|
80 "github.com/spf13/viper" |
|
81 ) |
|
82 |
|
83 var ( |
|
84 // Used for flags. |
|
85 cfgFile string |
|
86 userLicense string |
|
87 |
|
88 rootCmd = &cobra.Command{ |
|
89 Use: "cobra", |
|
90 Short: "A generator for Cobra based Applications", |
|
91 Long: `Cobra is a CLI library for Go that empowers applications. |
|
92 This application is a tool to generate the needed files |
|
93 to quickly create a Cobra application.`, |
|
94 } |
|
95 ) |
|
96 |
|
97 // Execute executes the root command. |
|
98 func Execute() error { |
|
99 return rootCmd.Execute() |
|
100 } |
|
101 |
|
102 func init() { |
|
103 cobra.OnInitialize(initConfig) |
|
104 |
|
105 rootCmd.PersistentFlags().StringVar(&cfgFile, "config", "", "config file (default is $HOME/.cobra.yaml)") |
|
106 rootCmd.PersistentFlags().StringP("author", "a", "YOUR NAME", "author name for copyright attribution") |
|
107 rootCmd.PersistentFlags().StringVarP(&userLicense, "license", "l", "", "name of license for the project") |
|
108 rootCmd.PersistentFlags().Bool("viper", true, "use Viper for configuration") |
|
109 viper.BindPFlag("author", rootCmd.PersistentFlags().Lookup("author")) |
|
110 viper.BindPFlag("useViper", rootCmd.PersistentFlags().Lookup("viper")) |
|
111 viper.SetDefault("author", "NAME HERE <EMAIL ADDRESS>") |
|
112 viper.SetDefault("license", "apache") |
|
113 |
|
114 rootCmd.AddCommand(addCmd) |
|
115 rootCmd.AddCommand(initCmd) |
|
116 } |
|
117 |
|
118 func initConfig() { |
|
119 if cfgFile != "" { |
|
120 // Use config file from the flag. |
|
121 viper.SetConfigFile(cfgFile) |
|
122 } else { |
|
123 // Find home directory. |
|
124 home, err := os.UserHomeDir() |
|
125 cobra.CheckErr(err) |
|
126 |
|
127 // Search config in home directory with name ".cobra" (without extension). |
|
128 viper.AddConfigPath(home) |
|
129 viper.SetConfigType("yaml") |
|
130 viper.SetConfigName(".cobra") |
|
131 } |
|
132 |
|
133 viper.AutomaticEnv() |
|
134 |
|
135 if err := viper.ReadInConfig(); err == nil { |
|
136 fmt.Println("Using config file:", viper.ConfigFileUsed()) |
|
137 } |
|
138 } |
|
139 ``` |
|
140 |
|
141 ### Create your main.go |
|
142 |
|
143 With the root command you need to have your main function execute it. |
|
144 Execute should be run on the root for clarity, though it can be called on any command. |
|
145 |
|
146 In a Cobra app, typically the main.go file is very bare. It serves one purpose: to initialize Cobra. |
|
147 |
|
148 ```go |
|
149 package main |
|
150 |
|
151 import ( |
|
152 "{pathToYourApp}/cmd" |
|
153 ) |
|
154 |
|
155 func main() { |
|
156 cmd.Execute() |
|
157 } |
|
158 ``` |
|
159 |
|
160 ### Create additional commands |
|
161 |
|
162 Additional commands can be defined and typically are each given their own file |
|
163 inside of the cmd/ directory. |
|
164 |
|
165 If you wanted to create a version command you would create cmd/version.go and |
|
166 populate it with the following: |
|
167 |
|
168 ```go |
|
169 package cmd |
|
170 |
|
171 import ( |
|
172 "fmt" |
|
173 |
|
174 "github.com/spf13/cobra" |
|
175 ) |
|
176 |
|
177 func init() { |
|
178 rootCmd.AddCommand(versionCmd) |
|
179 } |
|
180 |
|
181 var versionCmd = &cobra.Command{ |
|
182 Use: "version", |
|
183 Short: "Print the version number of Hugo", |
|
184 Long: `All software has versions. This is Hugo's`, |
|
185 Run: func(cmd *cobra.Command, args []string) { |
|
186 fmt.Println("Hugo Static Site Generator v0.9 -- HEAD") |
|
187 }, |
|
188 } |
|
189 ``` |
|
190 |
|
191 ### Returning and handling errors |
|
192 |
|
193 If you wish to return an error to the caller of a command, `RunE` can be used. |
|
194 |
|
195 ```go |
|
196 package cmd |
|
197 |
|
198 import ( |
|
199 "fmt" |
|
200 |
|
201 "github.com/spf13/cobra" |
|
202 ) |
|
203 |
|
204 func init() { |
|
205 rootCmd.AddCommand(tryCmd) |
|
206 } |
|
207 |
|
208 var tryCmd = &cobra.Command{ |
|
209 Use: "try", |
|
210 Short: "Try and possibly fail at something", |
|
211 RunE: func(cmd *cobra.Command, args []string) error { |
|
212 if err := someFunc(); err != nil { |
|
213 return err |
|
214 } |
|
215 return nil |
|
216 }, |
|
217 } |
|
218 ``` |
|
219 |
|
220 The error can then be caught at the execute function call. |
|
221 |
|
222 ## Working with Flags |
|
223 |
|
224 Flags provide modifiers to control how the action command operates. |
|
225 |
|
226 ### Assign flags to a command |
|
227 |
|
228 Since the flags are defined and used in different locations, we need to |
|
229 define a variable outside with the correct scope to assign the flag to |
|
230 work with. |
|
231 |
|
232 ```go |
|
233 var Verbose bool |
|
234 var Source string |
|
235 ``` |
|
236 |
|
237 There are two different approaches to assign a flag. |
|
238 |
|
239 ### Persistent Flags |
|
240 |
|
241 A flag can be 'persistent', meaning that this flag will be available to the |
|
242 command it's assigned to as well as every command under that command. For |
|
243 global flags, assign a flag as a persistent flag on the root. |
|
244 |
|
245 ```go |
|
246 rootCmd.PersistentFlags().BoolVarP(&Verbose, "verbose", "v", false, "verbose output") |
|
247 ``` |
|
248 |
|
249 ### Local Flags |
|
250 |
|
251 A flag can also be assigned locally, which will only apply to that specific command. |
|
252 |
|
253 ```go |
|
254 localCmd.Flags().StringVarP(&Source, "source", "s", "", "Source directory to read from") |
|
255 ``` |
|
256 |
|
257 ### Local Flag on Parent Commands |
|
258 |
|
259 By default, Cobra only parses local flags on the target command, and any local flags on |
|
260 parent commands are ignored. By enabling `Command.TraverseChildren`, Cobra will |
|
261 parse local flags on each command before executing the target command. |
|
262 |
|
263 ```go |
|
264 command := cobra.Command{ |
|
265 Use: "print [OPTIONS] [COMMANDS]", |
|
266 TraverseChildren: true, |
|
267 } |
|
268 ``` |
|
269 |
|
270 ### Bind Flags with Config |
|
271 |
|
272 You can also bind your flags with [viper](https://github.com/spf13/viper): |
|
273 ```go |
|
274 var author string |
|
275 |
|
276 func init() { |
|
277 rootCmd.PersistentFlags().StringVar(&author, "author", "YOUR NAME", "Author name for copyright attribution") |
|
278 viper.BindPFlag("author", rootCmd.PersistentFlags().Lookup("author")) |
|
279 } |
|
280 ``` |
|
281 |
|
282 In this example, the persistent flag `author` is bound with `viper`. |
|
283 **Note**: the variable `author` will not be set to the value from config, |
|
284 when the `--author` flag is not provided by user. |
|
285 |
|
286 More in [viper documentation](https://github.com/spf13/viper#working-with-flags). |
|
287 |
|
288 ### Required flags |
|
289 |
|
290 Flags are optional by default. If instead you wish your command to report an error |
|
291 when a flag has not been set, mark it as required: |
|
292 ```go |
|
293 rootCmd.Flags().StringVarP(&Region, "region", "r", "", "AWS region (required)") |
|
294 rootCmd.MarkFlagRequired("region") |
|
295 ``` |
|
296 |
|
297 Or, for persistent flags: |
|
298 ```go |
|
299 rootCmd.PersistentFlags().StringVarP(&Region, "region", "r", "", "AWS region (required)") |
|
300 rootCmd.MarkPersistentFlagRequired("region") |
|
301 ``` |
|
302 |
|
303 ## Positional and Custom Arguments |
|
304 |
|
305 Validation of positional arguments can be specified using the `Args` field |
|
306 of `Command`. |
|
307 |
|
308 The following validators are built in: |
|
309 |
|
310 - `NoArgs` - the command will report an error if there are any positional args. |
|
311 - `ArbitraryArgs` - the command will accept any args. |
|
312 - `OnlyValidArgs` - the command will report an error if there are any positional args that are not in the `ValidArgs` field of `Command`. |
|
313 - `MinimumNArgs(int)` - the command will report an error if there are not at least N positional args. |
|
314 - `MaximumNArgs(int)` - the command will report an error if there are more than N positional args. |
|
315 - `ExactArgs(int)` - the command will report an error if there are not exactly N positional args. |
|
316 - `ExactValidArgs(int)` - the command will report an error if there are not exactly N positional args OR if there are any positional args that are not in the `ValidArgs` field of `Command` |
|
317 - `RangeArgs(min, max)` - the command will report an error if the number of args is not between the minimum and maximum number of expected args. |
|
318 |
|
319 An example of setting the custom validator: |
|
320 |
|
321 ```go |
|
322 var cmd = &cobra.Command{ |
|
323 Short: "hello", |
|
324 Args: func(cmd *cobra.Command, args []string) error { |
|
325 if len(args) < 1 { |
|
326 return errors.New("requires a color argument") |
|
327 } |
|
328 if myapp.IsValidColor(args[0]) { |
|
329 return nil |
|
330 } |
|
331 return fmt.Errorf("invalid color specified: %s", args[0]) |
|
332 }, |
|
333 Run: func(cmd *cobra.Command, args []string) { |
|
334 fmt.Println("Hello, World!") |
|
335 }, |
|
336 } |
|
337 ``` |
|
338 |
|
339 ## Example |
|
340 |
|
341 In the example below, we have defined three commands. Two are at the top level |
|
342 and one (cmdTimes) is a child of one of the top commands. In this case the root |
|
343 is not executable, meaning that a subcommand is required. This is accomplished |
|
344 by not providing a 'Run' for the 'rootCmd'. |
|
345 |
|
346 We have only defined one flag for a single command. |
|
347 |
|
348 More documentation about flags is available at https://github.com/spf13/pflag |
|
349 |
|
350 ```go |
|
351 package main |
|
352 |
|
353 import ( |
|
354 "fmt" |
|
355 "strings" |
|
356 |
|
357 "github.com/spf13/cobra" |

358 ) |
|
359 |
|
360 func main() { |
|
361 var echoTimes int |
|
362 |
|
363 var cmdPrint = &cobra.Command{ |
|
364 Use: "print [string to print]", |
|
365 Short: "Print anything to the screen", |
|
366 Long: `print is for printing anything back to the screen. |
|
367 For many years people have printed back to the screen.`, |
|
368 Args: cobra.MinimumNArgs(1), |
|
369 Run: func(cmd *cobra.Command, args []string) { |
|
370 fmt.Println("Print: " + strings.Join(args, " ")) |
|
371 }, |
|
372 } |
|
373 |
|
374 var cmdEcho = &cobra.Command{ |
|
375 Use: "echo [string to echo]", |
|
376 Short: "Echo anything to the screen", |
|
377 Long: `echo is for echoing anything back. |
|
378 Echo works a lot like print, except it has a child command.`, |
|
379 Args: cobra.MinimumNArgs(1), |
|
380 Run: func(cmd *cobra.Command, args []string) { |
|
381 fmt.Println("Echo: " + strings.Join(args, " ")) |
|
382 }, |
|
383 } |
|
384 |
|
385 var cmdTimes = &cobra.Command{ |
|
386 Use: "times [string to echo]", |
|
387 Short: "Echo anything to the screen more times", |
|
388 Long: `echo things multiple times back to the user by providing |
|
389 a count and a string.`, |
|
390 Args: cobra.MinimumNArgs(1), |
|
391 Run: func(cmd *cobra.Command, args []string) { |
|
392 for i := 0; i < echoTimes; i++ { |
|
393 fmt.Println("Echo: " + strings.Join(args, " ")) |
|
394 } |
|
395 }, |
|
396 } |
|
397 |
|
398 cmdTimes.Flags().IntVarP(&echoTimes, "times", "t", 1, "times to echo the input") |
|
399 |
|
400 var rootCmd = &cobra.Command{Use: "app"} |
|
401 rootCmd.AddCommand(cmdPrint, cmdEcho) |
|
402 cmdEcho.AddCommand(cmdTimes) |
|
403 rootCmd.Execute() |

|
409 ## Help Command |
|
410 |
|
411 Cobra automatically adds a help command to your application when you have subcommands. |
|
412 This will be called when a user runs 'app help'. Additionally, help will also |
|
413 support all other commands as input. Say, for instance, you have a command called |
|
414 'create' without any additional configuration; Cobra will work when 'app help |
|
415 create' is called. Every command will automatically have the '--help' flag added. |
|
416 |
|
417 ### Example |
|
418 |
|
419 The following output is automatically generated by Cobra. Nothing beyond the |
|
420 command and flag definitions are needed. |
|
421 |
|
422 $ cobra help |
|
423 |
|
424 Cobra is a CLI library for Go that empowers applications. |
|
425 This application is a tool to generate the needed files |
|
426 to quickly create a Cobra application. |
|
427 |
|
428 Usage: |
|
429 cobra [command] |
|
430 |
|
431 Available Commands: |
|
432 add Add a command to a Cobra Application |
|
433 help Help about any command |
|
434 init Initialize a Cobra Application |
|
435 |
|
436 Flags: |
|
437 -a, --author string author name for copyright attribution (default "YOUR NAME") |
|
438 --config string config file (default is $HOME/.cobra.yaml) |
|
439 -h, --help help for cobra |
|
440 -l, --license string name of license for the project |
|
441 --viper use Viper for configuration (default true) |
|
442 |
|
443 Use "cobra [command] --help" for more information about a command. |
|
444 |
|
445 |
|
446 Help is just a command like any other. There is no special logic or behavior |
|
447 around it. In fact, you can provide your own if you want. |
|
448 |
|
449 ### Defining your own help |
|
450 |
|
451 You can provide your own Help command or your own template for the default command to use |
|
452 with following functions: |
|
453 |
|
454 ```go |
|
455 cmd.SetHelpCommand(cmd *Command) |
|
456 cmd.SetHelpFunc(f func(*Command, []string)) |
|
457 cmd.SetHelpTemplate(s string) |
|
458 ``` |
|
459 |
|
460 The latter two will also apply to any children commands. |
|
461 |
|
462 ## Usage Message |
|
463 |
|
464 When the user provides an invalid flag or invalid command, Cobra responds by |
|
465 showing the user the 'usage'. |
|
466 |
|
467 ### Example |
|
468 You may recognize this from the help above. That's because the default help |
|
469 embeds the usage as part of its output. |
|
470 |
|
471 $ cobra --invalid |
|
472 Error: unknown flag: --invalid |
|
473 Usage: |
|
474 cobra [command] |
|
475 |
|
476 Available Commands: |
|
477 add Add a command to a Cobra Application |
|
478 help Help about any command |
|
479 init Initialize a Cobra Application |
|
480 |
|
481 Flags: |
|
482 -a, --author string author name for copyright attribution (default "YOUR NAME") |
|
483 --config string config file (default is $HOME/.cobra.yaml) |
|
484 -h, --help help for cobra |
|
485 -l, --license string name of license for the project |
|
486 --viper use Viper for configuration (default true) |
|
487 |
|
488 Use "cobra [command] --help" for more information about a command. |
|
489 |
|
490 ### Defining your own usage |
|
491 You can provide your own usage function or template for Cobra to use. |
|
492 Like help, the function and template are overridable through public methods: |
|
493 |
|
494 ```go |
|
495 cmd.SetUsageFunc(f func(*Command) error) |
|
496 cmd.SetUsageTemplate(s string) |
|
497 ``` |
|
498 |
|
499 ## Version Flag |
|
500 |
|
501 Cobra adds a top-level '--version' flag if the Version field is set on the root command. |
|
502 Running an application with the '--version' flag will print the version to stdout using |
|
503 the version template. The template can be customized using the |
|
504 `cmd.SetVersionTemplate(s string)` function. |
|

506 ## PreRun and PostRun Hooks |
|
507 |
|
508 It is possible to run functions before or after the main `Run` function of your command. The `PersistentPreRun` and `PreRun` functions will be executed before `Run`. `PersistentPostRun` and `PostRun` will be executed after `Run`. The `Persistent*Run` functions will be inherited by children if they do not declare their own. These functions are run in the following order: |
|
509 |
|
510 - `PersistentPreRun` |
|
511 - `PreRun` |
|
512 - `Run` |
|
513 - `PostRun` |
|
514 - `PersistentPostRun` |
|
515 |
|
516 An example of two commands which use all of these features is below. When the subcommand is executed, it will run the root command's `PersistentPreRun` but not the root command's `PersistentPostRun`: |
|
517 |
|
518 ```go |
|
519 package main |
|
520 |
|
521 import ( |
|
522 "fmt" |
|
523 |
|
524 "github.com/spf13/cobra" |
|
525 ) |
|
526 |
|
527 func main() { |
|
528 |
|
529 var rootCmd = &cobra.Command{ |
|
530 Use: "root [sub]", |
|
531 Short: "My root command", |
|
532 PersistentPreRun: func(cmd *cobra.Command, args []string) { |
|
533 fmt.Printf("Inside rootCmd PersistentPreRun with args: %v\n", args) |
|
534 }, |
|
535 PreRun: func(cmd *cobra.Command, args []string) { |
|
536 fmt.Printf("Inside rootCmd PreRun with args: %v\n", args) |
|
537 }, |
|
538 Run: func(cmd *cobra.Command, args []string) { |
|
539 fmt.Printf("Inside rootCmd Run with args: %v\n", args) |
|
540 }, |
|
541 PostRun: func(cmd *cobra.Command, args []string) { |
|
542 fmt.Printf("Inside rootCmd PostRun with args: %v\n", args) |
|
543 }, |
|
544 PersistentPostRun: func(cmd *cobra.Command, args []string) { |
|
545 fmt.Printf("Inside rootCmd PersistentPostRun with args: %v\n", args) |
|
546 }, |
|
547 } |
|
548 |
|
549 var subCmd = &cobra.Command{ |
|
550 Use: "sub [no options!]", |
|
551 Short: "My subcommand", |
|
552 PreRun: func(cmd *cobra.Command, args []string) { |
|
553 fmt.Printf("Inside subCmd PreRun with args: %v\n", args) |
|
554 }, |
|
555 Run: func(cmd *cobra.Command, args []string) { |
|
556 fmt.Printf("Inside subCmd Run with args: %v\n", args) |
|
557 }, |
|
558 PostRun: func(cmd *cobra.Command, args []string) { |
|
559 fmt.Printf("Inside subCmd PostRun with args: %v\n", args) |
|
560 }, |
|
561 PersistentPostRun: func(cmd *cobra.Command, args []string) { |
|
562 fmt.Printf("Inside subCmd PersistentPostRun with args: %v\n", args) |
|
563 }, |
|
564 } |
|
565 |
|
566 rootCmd.AddCommand(subCmd) |
|
567 |
|
568 rootCmd.SetArgs([]string{""}) |
|
569 rootCmd.Execute() |
|
570 fmt.Println() |
|
571 rootCmd.SetArgs([]string{"sub", "arg1", "arg2"}) |
|
572 rootCmd.Execute() |
|
573 } |
|
574 ``` |
|
575 |
|
576 Output: |
|
577 ``` |
|
578 Inside rootCmd PersistentPreRun with args: [] |
|
579 Inside rootCmd PreRun with args: [] |
|
580 Inside rootCmd Run with args: [] |
|
581 Inside rootCmd PostRun with args: [] |
|
582 Inside rootCmd PersistentPostRun with args: [] |
|
583 |
|
584 Inside rootCmd PersistentPreRun with args: [arg1 arg2] |
|
585 Inside subCmd PreRun with args: [arg1 arg2] |
|
586 Inside subCmd Run with args: [arg1 arg2] |
|
587 Inside subCmd PostRun with args: [arg1 arg2] |
|
588 Inside subCmd PersistentPostRun with args: [arg1 arg2] |
|
589 ``` |

591 ## Suggestions when "unknown command" happens |
|
592 |
|
593 Cobra will print automatic suggestions when "unknown command" errors happen. This allows Cobra to behave similarly to the `git` command when a typo happens. For example: |
|
594 |
|
595 ``` |
|
596 $ hugo srever |
|
597 Error: unknown command "srever" for "hugo" |
|
598 |
|
599 Did you mean this? |
|
600 server |
|
601 |
|
602 Run 'hugo --help' for usage. |
|
603 ``` |
|
604 |
|
605 Suggestions are automatic based on every subcommand registered and use an implementation of [Levenshtein distance](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance). Every registered command that matches a minimum distance of 2 (ignoring case) will be displayed as a suggestion. |
|
606 |
|
607 If you need to disable suggestions or tweak the string distance in your command, use: |
|
608 |
|
609 ```go |
|
610 command.DisableSuggestions = true |
|
611 ``` |
|
612 |
|
613 or |
|
614 |
|
615 ```go |
|
616 command.SuggestionsMinimumDistance = 1 |
|
617 ``` |
|
618 |
|
619 You can also explicitly set names for which a given command will be suggested using the `SuggestFor` attribute. This allows suggestions for strings that are not close in terms of string distance, but makes sense in your set of commands and for some which you don't want aliases. Example: |
|
620 |
|
621 ``` |
|
622 $ kubectl remove |
|
623 Error: unknown command "remove" for "kubectl" |
|
624 |
|
625 Did you mean this? |
|
626 delete |
|
627 |
|
628 Run 'kubectl help' for usage. |
|
629 ``` |
|
630 |
|
631 ## Generating documentation for your command |
|
632 |
|
633 Cobra can generate documentation based on subcommands, flags, etc. Read more about it in the [docs generation documentation](doc/README.md). |
|
634 |
|
635 ## Generating shell completions |
|
636 |
|
637 Cobra can generate a shell-completion file for the following shells: bash, zsh, fish, PowerShell. If you add more information to your commands, these completions can be amazingly powerful and flexible. Read more about it in [Shell Completions](shell_completions.md). |
