UpgradeCLI: A Go pkg to add an upgrade sub-command to your CLI

I think it's a nice DX when CLI's add an `upgrade` sub-command and present users with a simple and automatic way of updating to the newest version. That's why I built UpgradeCLI. Any Go cli can adopt it and have a working upgrade sub-command in a matter of minutes. Let me know what y'all think.

  • Get answers for shell commands from GPT3 from your terminal2022 · github.com · ▲159

    I was constantly googling CLI commands so I built this small CLI tool with GPT3. You can ask for shell commands right from the CLI. You'd need to use your own API KEY for this but it's pretty simple, instructions are in the README Not perfect but not bad either.

    Updatecli – What if Dependabot and Ansible had a child?2022 · ▲60

    What if Dependabot and Ansible had a child? Well for me that could be Updatecli. Updatecli is a project that I started to help maintain the infrastructure of the Jenkins project. I needed something flexible enough to update YAML with whatever information needed. Because let’s say it, everybody loves YAML. YAML is everywhere. Run it from everywhere… Updatecli is a command-line tool written in Golang and available for Windows, Linux, MacOSx, amd64, arm64, thank you Goreleaser All of that to say that it runs from wherever CI or laptop we need. As of today, Updatecli opened over 3000 Pull…

  • ggc – A terminal-based Git CLI written in Go2025 · github.com · ▲65

    Hi HN, I built ggc (https://github.com/bmf-san/ggc), a terminal-based Git CLI tool written in Go. ggc provides: - A fast interactive UI (like `fzf`) for common Git operations - Traditional subcommands (e.g. `ggc add`, `ggc commit`) - Git-compatible config support (`ggc config` reads from `git config`) - Built-in aliases and workflow automation (e.g. `ggc addcommitpush`) The goal is to improve developer productivity by combining interactive workflows with scriptable CLI operations. It's still under active development, but I'd love feedback from the community! GitHub:…

  • My first Go project, a useless animated bunny sign for your terminal2025 · github.com · ▲26

    Hi HN, I wanted to share my very first (insignificant) project written in Go: a little CLI tool that displays messages with an animated bunny holding a sign. I wanted to learn Go and needed a small, fun project to get my hands dirty with the language and the process of building and distributing a CLI. I've built a similar tool in JavaScript before so I thought porting it would be a great learning exercise. This was a dive into Go's basics for me, from package structure and CLI flag parsing to building binaries for different platforms (never did that on my JS projects). I'm starting to…

  • Ggc – A Git CLI tool written in Go with interactive UI2025 · github.com · ▲44

    A while ago I shared an early version of ggc, a Git helper I built in Go. Since then the project has grown quite a bit, and I’d love to share the latest updates (v6.0). Repo: https://github.com/bmf-san/ggc Install: - macOS/Linux: `brew install ggc` - Go: `go install github.com/bmf-san/ggc/v6@latest` - Homebrew: `brew install ggc` - Or grab binaries: https://github.com/bmf-san/ggc/releases Features: Dual modes: Traditional CLI commands (ggc add, etc.) and interactive mode (launch with just ggc) Intuitive command structure:…

  • Talanoa▲346

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
