# Adding new cli commands
All cli-related functions are located in `pkg/cmd`.
Each cli command usually calls a function in another package.
For example, the `vikunja migrate` command calls `migration.Migrate()`.
Vikunja uses the amazing [cobra](https://github.com/spf13/cobra) library for its cli.
Please refer to its documentation for informations about how to use flags etc.
To add a new cli command, add something like the following:
{{< highlight golang >}}
func init() {
rootCmd.AddCommand(myCmd)
}
var myCmd = &cobra.Command{
Use: "My-command",
Short: "A short description about your command.",
Run: func(cmd *cobra.Command, args []string) {
// Call other functions
},
}
{{</ highlight >}}
