Prompts

Generally speaking, prompts are the CLI’s version of forms.

• Use prompts for entering information
• Use a prompt when user intent is unclear
• Make sure to provide flags for all prompts

Yes/No

Use for yes/no questions, usually a confirmation. The default (what will happen if you enter nothing and hit enter) is in caps.

Short text

Use to enter short strings of text. Enter will accept the auto fill if available

Long text

Use to enter large bodies of text. E key will open the user’s preferred editor, and Enter will skip.

Radio select

Use to select one option

Multi select

Use to select multiple options
