We need a global --quiet (-q) flag

[fernando-villalba]

Description

We should have a --quiet (-q) global flag for our CLI. This is very useful for scripting. For example in situations like using civo kubernetes create --wait a quiet flag could be used to prevent output and pollute logs (for example, the log of CI tool)

Acceptance Criteria

The quiet flag must do the following:

• Disable interactive prompts that ask for confirmation or input. If input is required and no default is available, make the command fail - be very careful here, always make the defaults safe! For example do not delete things by default, fail instead. If the user wants to override this combine it with the the --yes flag
• Do not output any progress indicators, such as the one seen when using civo kubernetes create --wait
• Only output errors, especially if those errors are failure errors.

While there are probably different levels of verbosity we can configure here, I think this right now should be sufficient for most use cases.

Hi @fernando-villalba do this also have to be implemented for the inital CLI setup (civo apikey save command) ?

Hi @fernando-villalba @giornetta @uzaxirr,

I am interested in taking this issue, i saw that PR 516 is already there but has merge conflicts. i ve gone through the code and understand the requirements, including how to handle the fmt.Printf replacements and avoid the import cycle issues(config vs common. please let me if i can go ahead.

Thanks

Hi @tanushb-dev, thanks for the interest. Yeah, the original PR that implemented this was not merged unfortunately as it was very big and impacted lots of files at the same time, and unfortunately it has lots of merge conflicts now.

Maybe we can proceed with an issue with multiple subtasks @giornetta
