SpringCommand-CLI

The Spring CLI Project is a command-line interface tool designed to streamline and automate common tasks involved in Spring Boot project development. This tool provides developers with a suite of commands to create, configure, and manage Spring Boot projects interactively and efficiently. By leveraging this CLI, developers can quickly set up projects, manage directories, handle application properties, log errors, and ensure that dependencies are up-to-date—all from the command line.

Features

• Interactive Project Creation: Initiate new Spring Boot projects with ease using the spring init command.
• Directory Management: Navigate and manage project directories with commands like spring cd and spring root.
• Application Properties Configuration: Automatically add boilerplate code for dependencies to the application.properties file.
• Error Logging: Use the spring error command to fetch error details from a specified log file, combine these details with a user-provided description for quick error detection and correction.
• Dependency Version Checking: Check and update the dependencies in your pom.xml file to ensure your project is using the latest versions.
