* Display available extensions in the help textDaniel Mueller2020-10-04
| | | | | | | | | With recent changes we are able to execute user-provided extensions through the program. However, discoverability is arguably lacking, because nitrocli provides no insight into what extensions are available to begin with. This patch changes this state of affairs by listing available extensions in the help text.
* Introduce support for user-provided extensionsDaniel Mueller2020-08-25
This change introduces support for discovering and executing user-provided extensions to the program. Extensions are useful for allowing users to provide additional functionality on top of the nitrocli proper. Implementation wise we stick to an approach similar to git or cargo subcommands in nature: we search the directories listed in the PATH environment variable for a file that starts with "nitrocli-", followed by the extension name. This file is then executed. It is assumed that the extension recognizes (or at least not prohibits) the following arguments: --nitrocli (providing the path to the nitrocli binary), --model (with the model passed to the main program), and --verbosity (the verbosity level).
