library](https://github.com/spf13/pflag), a fork of the flag standard library
which maintains the same interface while adding POSIX compliance.
-## Usage
-
-Cobra works by creating a set of commands and then organizing them into a tree.
-The tree defines the structure of the application.
-
-Once each command is defined with its corresponding flags, then the
-tree is assigned to the commander which is finally executed.

# Installing
Using Cobra is easy. First, use `go get` to install the latest version
of the library. This command will install the `cobra` generator executable
