CFSSL
Cloudflare's PKI and TLS toolkit
CFSSL is CloudFlare's PKI/TLS swiss army knife. It is both a command line tool and an HTTP API server for signing, verifying, and bundling TLS certificates. It requires Go 1.12+ to build. Note that certain linux distributions have certain algorithms removed (RHEL-based distributions in particular), so the golang from the official repositories will not work. Users of these distributions should install go manually to install CFSSL. You can set the GOOS and GOARCH environment variables to have Go cross compile for alternative platforms; however, cfssl requires cgo, and cgo requires a working compiler toolchain for the target platform. The csr is the client's certificate request. The -ca and -ca-key flags are the CA's certificate and private key, respectively. By default, they are ca.pem and ca_key.pem. The -hostname is a comma separated hostname list that overrides the DNS names and IP address in the certificate SAN extension. -

bat
Go implement CLI, cURL-like tool for humans
bat is a Go-implemented, cURL-like command-line HTTP client designed to be “for humans,” emphasizing an expressive and intuitive syntax. It allows developers to test, debug, and generally interact with HTTP servers using concise commands that feel more like a small DSL than raw cURL flags. The tool supports a wide range of HTTP operations including custom methods, headers, JSON payloads, form submissions, file uploads, authentication and proxy configuration. Its README showcases simple “hello world” usage as well as more advanced scenarios, such as inspecting the exact request being sent via print options. Because it is written in Go and distributed as a single binary, it is easy to install and use across platforms, and it can even be run inside Docker containers for isolated workflows. The project is inspired by HTTPie but tailored to Go’s strengths, with an Apache-2.0 license that encourages both personal and commercial use. -

Hilbish
The Moon-powered shell! A comfy and extensible shell for Lua fans
Hilbish is an extensible shell designed to be highly customizable. It is configured in Lua and provides a good range of features. It aims to be easy to use for anyone but powerful enough for those who need it. The motivation for choosing Lua was that it's simpler and better to use than an old shell script. It's fine for basic interactive shell uses, but that's the only place Hilbish has shell script; everything else is Lua and aims to be infinitely configurable. Hilbish is configured and scripted in the Lua programming language. This removes all the old, ugly things about Shell script and introduces everything good about Lua, including other languages (Fennel, Lua derivatives). Hilbish provides the user with proper menus for completions and history usage. Want to see your previous commands? Hit Ctrl-R. Hilbish offers a bunch of features to make your interactive shell experience rich. Things like syntax highlighting and hinting available via the Lua API. -

Capslock
Tool to remap Caps Lock key behavior on Windows systems
Capslock is a command-line tool for analyzing the capabilities of Go packages to reveal what privileged operations their code and dependencies can perform. Rather than detecting vulnerabilities, Capslock focuses on identifying capabilities — permissions implied by calls to sensitive or privileged standard library functions, such as file system access, networking, or process control. By following transitive call graphs, it classifies which security-sensitive operations each package can reach, giving developers visibility into what their dependencies are capable of doing. This helps apply the Principle of Least Privilege to Go software, guiding audits, supply chain reviews, and trust assessments. Capslock aims to make security posture analysis more proactive by surfacing capability-based risk signals before malicious or overly powerful code is introduced into production. -

JiraCLI
Feature-rich interactive Jira command line
JiraCLI is an interactive command line tool for Atlassian Jira that will help you avoid Jira UI to some extent. This tool is not yet considered complete but has all the essential features required to improve your workflow with Jira. The tool started with the idea of making issue search and navigation as straightforward as possible. However, with the help of outstanding supporters like you, we evolved, and the tool now includes all necessary features like issue creation, cloning, linking, ticket transition, and much more. Note that some features might work slightly differently in cloud installation versus on-premise installation due to the nature of the data. Yet, we've attempted to make the experience as similar as possible. jira-cli is available as a downloadable packaged binary for Linux, macOS, and Windows from the releases page. -

Massren
massren - easily rename multiple files using your text editor
Massren is a command line tool that can be used to rename multiple files using your own text editor. Multiple-rename tools are usually difficult to use from the command line since any regular expression needs to be escaped, and each tool uses its own syntax and flavor of regex. The advantage of massren is that you are using the text editor you use every day, so can use all its features. The tool works by creating a file that contains the filenames of the target directory and opening this file in the text editor. You can then modify the filenames there directly. Once done, save the text file and the files will be renamed. Lines that are not changed will simply be ignored. -

PingMe
PingMe is a CLI which provides the ability to send messages or alerts
PingMe is a personal project to satisfy my need to have alerts, most major platforms have integration to send alerts but it's not always useful, either you are stuck with one particular platform, or you have to do a lot of integrations. I needed a small utility that I could just call from my backup scripts, cron jobs, CI/CD pipelines, or from anywhere to send a message with particular information. And I can ship it everywhere with ease. Hence, the birth of PingMe. Everything is configurable via environment variables, and you can simply export the logs or messages to a variable that will be sent as a message, most of all this serves as a swiss army knife sort of tool that supports multiple platforms. -

bashful
Use a yaml file to stitch together commands and bash snippits
bashful is a command-line tool written in Go that allows you to define your build, automation or scripting workflow declaratively in YAML and have tasks executed in either series or parallel, with pretty progress output, logging, error handling, and orchestration instead of manually writing large bash scripts. The idea is that your bash automation should be “quiet and shy-like” rather than verbose and messy, so bashful provides a structured way to describe tasks (commands, downloads, nested operations) in a YAML file, and then run them with a nice terminal UI showing progress bars, logs, ETAs, etc. It supports features such as downloading scripts, bundling sets of commands and resources, tagging tasks, running subsets via tags, logging both stdout and stderr, and error-handling policies (e.g., which commands should halt execution on failure). The tool is cross-platform (supports Linux, macOS, Windows), installable via Go or via package managers, and licensed under MIT. -

bee
Bee is a tool for helping develop with beego app framework
Bee is a command-line tool facilitating the development of a Beego-based application. Then you can add bee binary to PATH environment variable in your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile file. Bee provides a variety of commands which can be helpful at various stages of development. To display the current version of bee, beego and go installed on your machine. You can also change the output format using -o flag. Inspired by makefile / npm scripts. Run script allows you to run arbitrary commands using Bee. Custom commands are provided from the "scripts" object inside bee.json or Beefile. Bee also comes with a source code generator which speeds up the development. -

go-wkhtmltopdf
Golang commandline wrapper for wkhtmltopdf
We needed a way to generate PDF documents from Go. These vary from invoices with highly customizable layouts to reports with tables, graphs and images. In our opinion, the best way to do this was by using HTML/CSS templates as a source for our PDFs. Using CSS print media types and millimeters instead of pixel units we can generate very accurate PDF documents using wkhtmltopdf. It takes care of setting the correct order of options as these can become very long with multiple pages where you have page and TOC options for each page. It makes usage in server-type applications easier, every instance (PDF process) has its own output buffer which contains the PDF output and you can feed one input document from an io.Reader (using stdin in wkhtmltopdf). You can combine any number of external HTML documents (HTTP(S) links) with at most one HTML document from stdin and set options for each input document. -

jackal
Instant messaging server for the Extensible Messaging
jackal is a free, open-source, high-performance XMPP server that aims to be known for its stability, simple configuration and low resource consumption. Customizable, enforced SSL/TLS. Stream compression (zlib), database connectivity for storing offline messages and user settings (PostgreSQL 9.5+, BoltDB). Caching (Redis 6.2+), clustering capabilities (etcd 3.4+) Expose Prometheus metrics, cross-platform (OS X, Linux). To make it easy to install jackal via Helm in Kubernetes a chart has been included into this repository. After completing database setup and starting jackal service you'll have to register a new user to be able to login. To do so, you can use jackal command-line tool to create a new user proving name and password. -

yamlfmt
An extensible command line tool or library to format yaml files
yamlfmt is an extensible formatter that makes YAML files consistent and easy to read across large repositories. It focuses on practical concerns unique to YAML—multi-document streams, anchors and aliases, comments, and block scalars—so a reformat doesn’t destroy semantics or helpful annotations. The tool ships as a single, distributable binary and can also be used as a library, making it simple to drop into CI and editor workflows. Configuration is file-based, allowing teams to pin indentation, line wrapping, and other house-style choices repo-wide. By normalizing structure while preserving meaning, it reduces diff noise and merge friction in configs, Kubernetes manifests, and automation playbooks. The project is intentionally extensible, so organizations can add custom formatters or rules without forking. -

AKS Engine
AKS Engine units of Kubernetes on Azure!
AKS Engine is an ARM template-driven way to provision a self-managed Kubernetes cluster on Azure. By leveraging ARM (Azure Resource Manager), AKS Engine helps you create, destroy and maintain clusters provisioned with basic IaaS resources in Azure. AKS Engine has limited support for ongoing operational capabilities such as scaling, in-place upgrades, and extensions. The Cluster API Provider for Azure a.k.a. CAPZ provides more complete operational capabilities. AKS Engine remains the tool for managing Kubernetes clusters on Azure Stack Hub as CAPZ does not yet work there. Read the CLI Overview for a list of features provided by the aks-engine command-line tool. The Quickstart Guide describes how to download the latest release of aks-engine for your environment, and demonstrates how to use aks-engine to create a Kubernetes cluster on Azure that you will manage and customize.
