## Install the package
npm install smartcli --save
## Usage
this plugin tries to establish some logic in which CLI tools work.
take the following commandline input:
```
mytool function argument1 argument2 --option1 -o2 option2Value
```
* 'mytool' obviously is the tool (like git)
* function is the main thing the tool shall do (like commit)
* argument1 and argument2 are arguments
* option1 is a longform option you can add (like --message for message)
* optionValue is the referenced option value (like a commit message)
```typescript
import {Smartcli} from "smartcli"
mySmartcli = new Smartcli();
mySmartcli.standardTask()
.then(argvArg => {
// do something if program is called without an command
});
mySmartcli.question
```
