Adding new cli commands

All cli-related functions are located in pkg/cmd. Each cli command usually calls a function in another package. For example, the vikunja migrate command calls migration.Migrate().

Vikunja uses the amazing cobra library for its cli. Please refer to its documentation for information about how to use flags etc.

To add a new cli command, add something like the following:

func init() {
	rootCmd.AddCommand(myCmd)
}

var myCmd = &cobra.Command{
	Use:   "My-command",
	Short: "A short description about your command.",
	Run: func(cmd *cobra.Command, args []string) {
		// Call other functions
	},
}
