Welcome to Imperative CLI Framework!

Imperative CLI Framework is a command processing system that enables application developers and systems programmers to quickly build customized command line tools. The framework lets them focus on adding features rather than creating infrastructure.

Within the imperative repository, we provide you with all the tools that you need to get started with building your own applications and plug-ins.
