Devtool-cli

A small Go CLI for everyday developer chores.

It can fetch API responses, format JSON files, and organize a messy folder by file type. I built it as a simple terminal tool, with readable output and clear errors.

What it does

Command	What it does
get	Fetches data from an HTTP/HTTPS URL
format	Validates and pretty-prints a JSON file
clean	Moves files into folders like Images, Documents, Code, Videos, etc.
version	Prints the installed version

Install

You need Go installed first.

go install github.com/GhanshyamJha05/devtool-cli@latest

On Windows, Go usually installs the binary here:

C:\Users\<your-name>\go\bin

If the command is not recognized, add that folder to your PATH and reopen the terminal.

The installed command name is:

devtool-cli

Usage

Check the available commands:

devtool-cli --help

Fetch an API response:

devtool-cli get https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1

Save the response to a file:

devtool-cli get https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1 --save post.json

Format a JSON file:

devtool-cli format ugly.json

Save formatted JSON:

devtool-cli format ugly.json --save pretty.json

Clean a folder:

devtool-cli clean "C:\Users\you\Downloads"

Use quotes when the folder path has spaces.

Show extra details:

devtool-cli clean "C:\Users\you\Downloads" --verbose

Using it on another system

Keep these things in mind:

• Install Go first.
• Use the same install command: go install github.com/GhanshyamJha05/devtool-cli@latest.
• Make sure Go's bin folder is in PATH.
• On Windows, the binary will usually be devtool-cli.exe.
• On macOS/Linux, it will usually be devtool-cli.
• Internet is needed for go install and for the get command.
• The clean command moves files, so test it on a sample folder first.
• If a path has spaces, wrap it in quotes.

Quick check after installing:

devtool-cli version
devtool-cli --help

Build from source

git clone https://github.com/GhanshyamJha05/devtool-cli.git
cd devtool-cli
go build -o devtool-cli .

Then run:

./devtool-cli --help

On Windows Command Prompt:

devtool-cli.exe --help

Notes

This is still a small project. Good next upgrades would be tests, a dry-run option for clean, and better release automation.
