docopt completion generator

Just write the help text for your application and ParseArgv will take care of your command line.

ParseArgv simply takes your help text and parses the command li...

A simple mixin for CLI interfaces, including option parsing

Extension Command for Dry::CLI which generates a completion script for bash/zsh.

The getopt library provides two different command line option parsers. They are meant as easier and more convenient replacements for the command line parsers that ship as part of the Ruby standard library. Please see the README for additional comments.

Command-line arguments to hash

Provides a convenient interface around optparse.

Isn't it awesome how `optparse` and other option parsers generate help and usage-messages based on your code?! Hell no! You know what's awesome? It's when the option parser *is* generated based on the help and usage-message that you write in a docstring! That's what docopt does!
