  • charm

    The Charm Tool and Library 🌟

    • I think zig might actually be the best language for CLI if it had a charm ( https://github.com/charmbracelet/charm ) like eco system

  • zf

    a commandline fuzzy finder designed for filtering filepaths

    • You can absolutely make CLI tools, but be prepared for breaking changes in the language with every release. I've been working on a fuzzy finder zf for a couple of years now, and with each Zig release there are a few things to fix. It's not a ton of work, but it is something to be aware of.

  • zig-clap

    Simple command line argument parsing library

    • It's somewhat early, but there are libraries like https://github.com/Hejsil/zig-clap that can make writing CLIs a bit easier.
