How to let a CLI tool have pretty and useful output

Given for the Golang Melbourne Meetup on 18 May 2023

Wow, I just discovered this post never got published, so about 2 years late, but still potentially relevant I’m posting now about the talk I gave at the Golang Melbourne meetup 2 years ago. This talk is about my go-output module, which is the module I wrote to ensure the output formatting and methods between my various tools are the same. More background is in the talk, and the recording has now gone live. Also, as a bonus, I briefly explain Presso-Driven Development.

My talk is the second one on the video but the embedded video uses a timestamp to get you straight there. However, if you’re interested in Go1 and particularly in mocking your tests, I recommend watching the preceding talk by my DigIO colleague Mirjam Uher.


  1. If you’re not interested, my talk might not be of great interest to you either. ↩︎
