Description

The current implementation of the Committer CLI provides its own parsing of the command line arguments. However, the current design is not flexible enough when it comes to adding other commands, nor regarding the way the parameters are handled.

picocli [0], a project using the Apache 2.0 license, seems mature enough and can help with building the CLI, allowing the project to focus more on the actual commands to be executed rather than on the CLI itself.
