Pokémon CLI

Overview

A CLI tool for viewing data about Pokémon from your terminal! I am new to writing Go and taking my time in building this project.

My aim is to have four commands finished for v1.0.0. Read more in the Roadmap section.

Install

Binary

Download a pre-built binary

1. Head to the releases page of the project.
2. Choose a version to download. The latest is best.
3. Choose an operating system and click on the matching zipped folder to start the download.
4. Extract the folder. The tool is ready to use.
5. Either change directories into the extracted folder or move the binary to a chosen directory.
6. Run the tool!

Important

For macOS, you may have to allow the executable to run as it is not signed. Head to System Settings > Privacy & Security > scroll down and allow executable to run.

Roadmap

The architecture behind how the tool works is straight forward.

1. Commands indicate which data endpoint to focus on.
2. Flags provide more information and can be all stacked together or chosen.

Planned for Version 1.0.0

Not 100% up-to-date, may add or remove some of these choices

• pokemon: get data about a specific Pokémon.
  • -a | --abilities: display the Pokémon's abilities.
  • -s | --stats: display the Pokémon's base stats.
  • -t | --types: display the Pokémon's typing.
  • -m | --moves: display learnable moves.
• types: get data about a specific typing.
• ability: get data about a specific ability.
• move: get data about a specific move.
