Alternative fork with features

[WoozyMasta]

I really like this project and use it often in my own CLI work.

Over time I collected many ideas and fixes I wanted to apply, but upstream has been mostly quiet for a long time (there was some activity a couple of years ago, then another long pause). Because the change set became too large for a realistic upstream PR flow, I published a separate fork with its own version history.

The fork is intended to stay mostly drop-in compatible for existing users, with only a small number of explicit behavior differences. Details are documented in the changelog (v0.1.0).

Repository: https://github.com/WoozyMasta/flags
Docs: https://woozymasta.github.io/flags/

go get github.com/woozymasta/flags

Current status: v0.1.0 (stabilization before v1.0.0 roadmap).

Short feature list:

• help output overhaul (layout, grouping, sorting) and rendering fixes
• completion: bash / zsh / pwsh (+ auto-detection)
• native custom-type support via encoding.TextMarshaler / encoding.TextUnmarshaler
• localization (i18n)
• built-in color schemes (help/errors/version)
• docs rendering: markdown / html / man and custom documentation templates
• broader programmatic configuration API
• opt-in built-in commands (help, version, completion, docs, config)
• many new tags and parser capabilities
