urfave/cli-docs/v3 is an extended documentation library for use with urfave/cli/v3.

Start using

  1. Add the dependency to your project
 go get github.com/urfave/cli-docs/v3@latest
  1. Add it as import
 import (
+  docs "github.com/urfave/cli-docs/v3"
 )
  1. Now use it e.g. to generate markdown document from a command
package main

import (
    "context"
    "fmt"
    "os"

    docs "github.com/urfave/cli-docs/v3"
    cli "github.com/urfave/cli/v3"
)

func main() {
    app := &cli.Command{
        Name:  "greet",
        Usage: "say a greeting",
        Action: func(ctx context.Context, c *cli.Command) error {
            fmt.Println("Greetings")
            return nil
        },
    }

    md, err := docs.ToMarkdown(app)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    fi, err := os.Create("cli-docs.md")
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    defer fi.Close()
    if _, err := fi.WriteString("# CLI\n\n" + md); err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
}

This will create a file cli-docs.md with content:
