skcli for password management

In this project, we are going to build a CLI app called skcli to manage password of different applications. This CLI app will be implemented by using each package listed above.

For concrete implementation using each Python package, please see below:

• argparse-app
• click-app
• typer-app
• python-fire-app
• prompt-toolkit-app
• cement-app
• cliff-app
• plac-app
• docopt-ng-app

To try each example CLI app, the steps are:

• enter into the directory
• create a Python virtual environment by run python -m venv .venv
• run pip install -e .
• test skcli --help to explore the usage.
