🎮 Usage That Will Make You Smile

Interactive Mode — The "I'm Feeling Lazy" Way

# Just run it. The menu will greet you.

./hello



# Using your own config

./hello -c ./deploy_menu.yml

Headless Mode — The "I'm Automating Everything" Way

🏆 Why Developers Are Switching

"I used to spend 10 minutes every morning running status checks. Now I just type ./hello --exec 2 and grab coffee." — Senior DevOps Engineer

"My junior devs can now deploy to production without breaking things. The menu guides them step by step." — Tech Lead

"I put this in our onboarding guide and new hires are productive on day 1." — Engineering Manager

🔧 Pro Tips for Maximum Swag

1. 
   Create different menus for different projects:
   

   ./hello -c ./k8s_menu.yml

   ./hello -c ./aws_menu.yml

   ./hello -c ./db_backup.yml

1. Add emojis to your menu titles — trust me, it works.




2. Use environment variables for sensitive data:
   
   

   # env.ini

   DB_PASSWORD=supersecret

   AWS_KEY=AKIA...

   commands:

     - "mysql -u root -p%(DB_PASSWORD)s"

1. 
   Create aliases in your .bashrc:
   

   alias deploy="./hello -c ./deploy.yml --exec 1-2-3"

   alias health="./hello -c ./health.yml"

   alias backup="./hello -c ./backup.yml"

🧠 Architecture Philosophy

This tool was built with one principle in mind: "Your terminal should work FOR you, not AGAINST you."

• 
  Simple YAML config — No need to learn a new DSL


• 
  Go binary — Fast, portable, dependency-free


• 
  Chaining support — Complex workflows made simple


• 
  Error handling — If a command fails, execution stops immediately
