A CLI tool for automating development tasks.

Oi's command-line interface is structured like that of Git. After the initial oi command follows the name of a module, and after that is an action to perform on the module. Options can be specified at any point after the oi command.

Oi is designed to be a framework with which modular, extensible CLI tools can be built. Using Hashicorp's go-plugin library, Oi scans for plugins that define modules, each of which registers its own command and associated actions. New project-specific tools can then be built by aggregating the commands for existing tools, and extending them for particular use cases.

An Oi plugin is a Go program that implements a go-plugin Server.

TODO(orlade): More details.

oi/cli builds the main oi command. Most development automation will be implemented as plugins, so the Oi CLI exposes those plugins through a consistent user interface.

The files in the root of the oi repository make up the Oi core library, mainly specifying and invoking plugins.
