Introduction

Local development productivity tools meant to smooth and ease developers day to day work. It is meant to be cross-platform but for now is tested using MacOs and Ubuntu

This are few examples

• unified command line interfaces for multiple cli tools

• interactive command line mode

  • this act as an interactive wrapper on top of existing cli tools
  • also allow extending the existing cli tools with auto-completion, input enhanced wizard or description
  • allow switching between command namespaces in the same terminal

• Implement custom CLI tools using Python, fully integrate with all LCLI tool features:

  • just write some code class or function and configure them to be wired in application

• use Fire to auto document Python objects, so all you should do is to focus on business logic

Features

Fire mode

In fire mode the application allow user to configure a hierarchy of objects that fit its needs for various project. The user can navigate and execute the hierarchy using Fire library by Google. "Python Fire is a library for automatically generating command line interfaces (CLIs) from absolutely any Python object." https://github.com/google/python-fire

Interactive mode

Most often during the development process developers are using various tools for various projects. The interactive mode purpose is to improve productivity by offering auto-completion details on the spot. This is implemented on top of python cmd package: https://docs.python.org/3/library/cmd.html
