Introduction
 
The CLI starts with the root repository sindresorhus/awesome (https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome) and guides to to the final repo according to your choices. It fetches Readme files of the repositories and parses them to create the select
lists. So, the CLI needs a working network :). It also uses file caches to cache the Readme file contents. You can find the cache folder with name ".awesomecache" under your home folder.
