Chroma CLI in Golang

This is an experiment in building CLI experiences for ChromaDB developers.

Getting started

Installation:

go install github.com/amikos-tech/chroma-cli

Add a server:

chroma server add my-chroma -H localhost -p 8000

Create a collection:

chroma create my-collection

List collections:

chroma ls

Delete a collection:

chroma rm my-collection

Clone a collection:

chroma cp my-collection my-collection-clone

Note: The source collection must have some records in it.
