Decisions taken and personal notes

• Origin of the name:
  • i(si) + cli
  • or the typical iAnything :-)
• Library used: Click
  • The examples of code seen look simpler
  • Good opinions in several posts with comparisons with Docopts or Argparse
  • Looks like a "modern" way of creating a CLI in 2022
  • Used by AWS
• Dependencies with poetry
  • poetry show -v
  • poetry env list
• The ENTRYPOINT is the execution of the main file.
