Feature Description

Prepare a golang CLI app that will be where the majority of the bash scripts will migrate to.

Why?

golang will reduce the amount of boiler plate code that the bash scripts currently have. It will also standardize how arguments are handled, help documentation is generated, and more. It makes code more maintainable and more reusable. Also doing it this way allows this to be a backwards compatible, incremental conversion.

What-should happen?

A new golang project should be created in a directory called bsctl/. This project should be a CLI application called bsctl. It should be abstracted enough to facilitate testing and modular replacement of packages as needed, i.e. using factories. It should maintain >80% test coverage from the start. Pipelines should be built to run tests, builds, releases, formatting checks, linting checks, and documentation bump checks. It should have a Makefile that supports standard development needs, e.g. build, test, coverage, etc. It should support versioning and a CHANGELOG. It should include documentation specific for developers and consumers of the application.

Steps to Test

• A CHANGELOG in the root
• A folder called bsctl/ in the root
  • A golang CLI application in this folder
  • A documentation folder that contains developer and consumer specific documentation
  • The CLI modules should be small wrappers around abstracted modular code (factories)
  • The application should have >80% coverage
  • The application should follow go vet and golangci-lint standards
  • The application should follow go fmt formatting
  • The application should support versioning
• A Makefile in the root
  • It should support basic development needs
    • build
    • test
    • coverage
    • install
    • run
    • format
    • lint (for both linters)
    • clean
  • It should run for both bash and go, as much as possible and applicable
