"Hello, world!" example of Cobra with 100% code coverage

Note : "Cobra" is an awesome framework of Go to help create CLI apps.

This repo is an example of Cobra's "Hello, world!" with 100% code coverage.

Including the below to just say "Hello" to the world!

  • CI
    • Unit tests on Go v1.15 to the latest.
    • Static analysis, security scan, lint and format check.
    • Monthly vulnerability scan via CodeQL.
    • Automated monthly update of go.mod and go.sum on test-pass.
  • Automated Homebrew release on release push.

Searching for the best practices of Cobra

We all know keeping 100% of code coverage is a myth. But as a Golang and Cobra beginner, we wanted a "Hello-world" example with 100% of coverage, which couldn't be found by googling for "golang cobra sample example hello world coverage 100%".

This repo aims to find the best-practices of Cobra by refactoring it on a moment-to-moment basis. But keeping the code coverage as high as possible and less complexity as possible.

  • Therefore, this is a forever-WIP-repo. So any PR for the better is welcome!! We will merge it as long as it passess the tests with 100% coverage and not a prank-kind PR.
