• Now , lets talk about the libraries you might need to install before getting started.
  • [setuptools] - mainly used to make a package named groot which will work in your Cli.
  • [argparse] - mainly used to take inputs as arguments from the user in the Cli.

  • [textwrap] - mainly used to show the commit mesaages in the Cli.
  • [firebase-admin] - used to connect the Cli application with the firebase project and storage bucket.
  • [collections] - mainly used for showing difference between two commits.
