Hi, it's possible use the config crate for it?
Do you want to include all options in config file possibly?

[Kixunil]

@josediegorobles this project tends to use configure_me, depending on circumstances.

[josediegorobles]

Ok @Kixunil, I will try to do a PR with this.

[josediegorobles]

Hi, tonight I read doc of configure_me and I think that it's too much duplication of code, one for clap/command line, another for files.
There are a crate, StructConf that reunites clap and config file and it's possible adapt the code to this crate. Do you think it's a good idea to try to make the config file read with this crate? If not I will try to do something this weekend with configure_me.

[Kixunil]

configure_me does a lot of unix-y stuff correctly - handling of -abc switches, -abc=foo, non-UTF-8 (PathBuf...), env vars, can protect secrets, generates man pages...

So I suggest adding the missing features to configure_me instead - commands and subsections, so that clap can be removed. I don't have time to do it soon but I should be able to mentor you if you're interested.

Sounds interesting, where I can start? I can't promise persistence but sure I can do something.

I believe subcommands are the main missing feature that enables removing clap, please @dr-orlovsky correct me if I'm wrong and please look at the proposal of subcommands.

I opened Kixunil/configure_me#46 so you can take a look at it and try to make initial implementation that doesn't support fancy stuff.
