Command line interface for Monolyth unframework

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Using Composer:

```
composer required monolyth/cliff
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

`cliff` is Monolyth's command line tool. It allows you to create and run commands from your CLI, supporting arguments.

```
vendor/bin/cliff namespace/of/command [arguments]
```

`cliff` normalises the command given by capitalising the namespace and replacing forward with backward slashes. Thus, the command `my/command` will resolve to a classname of `My\Command` which Composer's autoloader must be able to load.

If the command's classname is itself `Command`, `cliff` will prepend that automagically. Thus, if no class `My\Command` is found, it will look for `My\Command\Command` before giving up.

All `cliff` command classes *must* extend `Monolyth\Cliff\Command` for convenience reasons (see below).
