## Overview

This is the baseline package template that we use internally when creating new python tools for the [Blue Team Toolbox](https://github.com/BlueTeamToolbox)
and [Red Team Toolbox](https://github.com/RedTeamToolbox). It has all of the basic functionality and workflows needed to create,
build and publish new package to [PyPI](https://pypi.org/).

This package provides a command-line utility for processing and handling various tasks using a set of predefined arguments and configurations. The project
aims to serve as a baseline for developing similar command-line applications.

It includes features such as argument parsing, configuration management, and a modular structure to facilitate scalable and maintainable code development.

We decided to make this available along with our other tools to allow people to use a well engineered starting point when creating their own tools.

We also have a [baseline project](https://github.com/GreyTeamToolbox/baseline-project) which can be used to create scripts and tools for local
execution. It comes with all the same base functionality but without the package build and publish.

## Features

- **Modular Architecture**: Organize your code into modules for better maintainability.
- **Argument Parsing**: Easily handle command-line arguments using `argparse`.
- **Configuration Management**: Generate configuration objects from command-line arguments.
- **Custom Exceptions**: Implement custom exceptions for specific error handling.

## Installation

To install the Baseline Package, clone the repository and navigate to the project directory:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/GreyTeamToolbox/baseline-package.git
cd baseline-package
```

It is recommended to use a virtual environment to manage dependencies. You can create and activate a virtual environment using the following commands:

```bash
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows, use `venv\Scripts\activate`
```

Install the required dependencies:

```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

## Usage

To run the Baseline Package, execute the `main` function from the main script:

```bash
python -m wolfsoftware.baseline_package.main --required <value>
```

### Command-Line Arguments

The application supports several command-line arguments:

- `-h, --help`: Show help message and exit.
- `-d, --debug`: Enable debug mode for verbose output.
- `-v, --verbose`: Enable verbose output to show scan results as they come in.
- `-V, --version`: Show the program's version number and exit.
- `-i, --optional-integer`: An optional integer argument (default: 2).
- `-s, --optional-string`: An optional string argument (default: "me").
- `-r, --required`: A required string argument.

Example usage:

```bash
python -m wolfsoftware.baseline_package.main -r "required_value" -i 10 -s "optional_string"
```

## Project Structure

The project is organized as follows:

```sh
baseline-package/
├── wolfsoftware/
│   └── baseline_package/
│       ├── __init__.py
│       ├── cli.py
│       ├── config.py
│       ├── exceptions.py
│       ├── globals.py
│       └── main.py
├── README.md
├── setup.py
└── requirements.txt
```

- `wolfsoftware/baseline_package`: Contains the core modules of the application.
  - `cli.py`: Handles the command-line arguments and main program flow.
  - `config.py`: Handles configuration creation from command-line arguments.
  - `exceptions.py`: Handles custom exceptions.
  - `globals.py`: Defines global constants used across the application.
  - `main.py`: The main script that orchestrates argument parsing and program execution.
- `requirements.txt`: Lists the dependencies required for the project.
- `README.md`: The file you are currently reading.
