README

dict

Look up word definitions, synonyms and phonetics

dict is a single pure-Go binary. It speaks to dictionary over plain HTTPS, shapes the responses into clean records, and pipes into the rest of your tools. No API key, nothing to run alongside it.

Install

go install github.com/tamnd/dictionary-cli/cmd/dict@latest

Or grab a prebuilt binary from the releases, or run the container image:

docker run --rm ghcr.io/tamnd/dict:latest --help

Usage

dict --help
dict version

This is a fresh scaffold. The command tree starts with version; build out the real commands in cli/ on top of the dictionary library package.

Development

cmd/dict/   thin main, wires cli.Root into fang
cli/                 the cobra command tree
dictionary/                the library: HTTP client and data models
docs/                tago documentation site
make build      # ./bin/dict
make test       # go test ./...
make vet        # go vet ./...

Releasing

Push a version tag and GitHub Actions runs GoReleaser, which builds the archives, Linux packages, the multi-arch GHCR image, checksums, SBOMs, and a cosign signature:

git tag v0.1.0
git push --tags

The Homebrew and Scoop steps self-disable until their tokens exist, so the first release works with no extra secrets.
