Alexis Sellier 0a93fa833e cli: Simplify & improve CLI output
Improvements to the CLI output as well as converging towards
`termion` as a backend.

The crates we were using for prompting and spinners were based on
a terminal backend called `console`, which is not really used
anywhere else. There were also limitations in terms of the output
of these crates.

Therefore, we switched to the `inquire` crate for prompting, using
the `termion` backend, which is very standard.

Additionally, we simplify the terminal output to use symbols:

! for Warning
✓ for Success
✗ for Error

... Instead of a mix of words and symbols.

We also include a modified version of the `yansi` crate which plays
well with our table formatting functions by automatically truncating
and padding output in a unicode-aware way.

Raw Blame History

When contributing to another's project, it is common for the contribution to be of many commits and involve a discussion with the project's maintainer. This is supported via Radicle's patches.

Here we give a brief overview for using patches in our hypothetical car scenario. It turns out instructions containing the power requirements were missing from the project.

$ git checkout -b flux-capacitor-power
$ touch REQUIREMENTS

Here the instructions are added to the project's README for 1.21 gigawatts and commit the changes to git.

$ git add REQUIREMENTS
$ git commit -v -m "Define power requirements"
[flux-capacitor-power 3e674d1] Define power requirements
 1 file changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
 create mode 100644 REQUIREMENTS

Once the code is ready, we open (or create) a patch with our changes for the project.

$ rad patch open --message "define power requirements" --no-confirm
