dev@ubuntu:~/Projects/Go/test-proj$ cobra init

Command 'cobra' not found, but can be installed with:

sudo apt install cobra

@DevDevious, how did you install cobra?

[DevDevious]

@umarcor

go get -u github.com/spf13/cobra

[umarcor]

@DevDevious, that's for retrieving the library, for you to write your app from scratch. The cobra CLI app is located in https://github.com/spf13/cobra/tree/master/cobra#cobra-generator. Hence, you need to append /cobra.

[DevDevious]

@umarcor okay. However go get github.com/spf13/cobra/cobra results in:

dev@dev-u20d-a:~/Projects/Go/test-proj$ go get github.com/spf13/cobra/cobra
go: downloading github.com/spf13/cobra v1.0.0

go get github.com/spf13/cobra/cobra: ambiguous import: found package github.com/spf13/cobra/cobra in multiple modules:

[umarcor]

@DevDevious I guess you need to go get github.com/spf13/cobra/[email protected]. See #1233, #1234.

[DevDevious]

@umarcor I personally agree with the points you made in #1233 . Setup is quite clumsy right now. Going to close this. Thanks @umarcor .
