Refactoring Multi-git to use Cobra - The Plan
Explore the process of refactoring the Multi-git command-line tool to leverage Cobra. Understand how to design a clear command structure, implement a user-friendly root command, handle arguments gracefully, and maintain test coverage. This lesson prepares you to improve your Go CLI applications with structured parsing and extensibility.
We'll cover the following...
We will go back to the multi-git program and refactor it to use Cobra. We already did a lot of the groundwork by organizing the directory structure of multi-git and breaking its functionality between a package and a command. Now, we will complete the process by incorporating Cobra, starting with a plan for the refactoring process.
Refactoring plan
The first step is to understand what is the current state of multi-git is and what the desired state is. Let’s review the current state quickly, describe clearly what the desired state is, and then come up with a concrete plan on how to go about it.
The current state of multi-git
The current version of multi-git is 0.4: ...
