argh - Argh! A minimalist argument handler.

•    C++

If you're writing a highly-sophisticated command line tool, then Boost.Program_options and its kind might give you many advanced options. However, if you need to get up and running quickly, effectively and with minimal fuss, give the single header-file argh a try.

flags - GoSquared's flag icon set

•    Makefile

---

Here you'll find all the files available in our flag icon set and the tools we use to generate the downloadable file. If you want to build your own version of this flag set, with any additions or modifications, just edit the files in src/flags. Each flag has its own folder, and inside each folder there is one PNG file for each size of the flag. Also in each folder is a file called code, which contains the ISO-3166-2 country code for the flag.

commando - An Elegant CLI Library for PHP

•    PHP

---

Commando is a PHP command line interface library that beautifies and simplifies writing PHP scripts intended for command line use. PHP's $argv magic variable and global $_SERVER['argv'] make me cringe, getopt isn't all that much better, and most other PHP CLI libraries are far too OOP bloated. Commando gets down to business without a ton of overhead, removes the common boilerplate stuff when it comes to handling CLI input, all while providing a clean and readable interface.

Gengetopt - Command Line Argument Parser in C

---

It is a simple-to-use, efficient, and full-featured library for parsing command line arguments and subcommands when writing console/terminal applications. clap is used to parse and validate the string of command line arguments provided by a user at runtime. You provide the list of valid possibilities, and clap handles the rest. This means you focus on your applications functionality, and less on the parsing and validating of arguments.

---

Define your global/program-wide version, options, description, and/or examples first. Once you define a Command, you can't access the global-scope again. Define all commands & options in the order that you want them to appear. Sade will not mutate or sort your CLI for you. Global options print before local options.

audit - For auditing what collaborators, hooks, and deploy keys you have added on all your GitHub repositories

•    Go

---

For checking what collaborators, hooks, deploy keys, and protected branches you have added on all your GitHub repositories. This also scans all an organization's repos you have permission to view. Because nobody has enough RAM in their brain to remember this stuff for 100+ repos. Check out genuinetools/pepper for setting all your GitHub repo's master branches to be protected. Pepper even has settings for organizations and a dry-run flag for the paranoid.
