Hammer - Next gen CLI tool.¶

At this point I have a basic CLI tool written that can do simple queries and searches: Foremancli

There are a few features that a full tool will need.

1. Ability to provision
2. Ability to edit attributes of a resource or group eg: Give a hostgroup a puppetclass or a custom fact
3. Ability to interact with subcollections e.g. /hosts/fqdn/facts
4. Ability to do everything the rake tasks can do (short of local tasks like starting and stopping the server)
5. Make hammer a library that can be called from other Ruby tools

First go at some code is at https://github.com/theforeman/foreman-hammer/
