This document provides an overview of building a command line interface (CLI) application in Go. It discusses UX considerations for CLIs, common CLI patterns and philosophies, and Go-specific topics. Some key points include:
- CLI apps should follow Unix philosophies of being simple, clear, composable, and extensible.
- Common CLI patterns include commands, arguments, options/flags, and subcommands.
- Go is a statically typed, compiled language with built-in concurrency and a large standard library.
- The document concludes by outlining plans to build a sample TODO app in Go called "Tri" to demonstrate CLI design and development.
