refactor: misc restructering (#1015)
Changes:

Separate cli flags and put them in
their own module.

Add a rustfmt configuration file for
grouping imports into crates (so we
dont have to do this manually, and it
seems we were already doing it manually
so might as well)

Use comments to describe cli flags
instead of using ugly syntax (they both
work the same but one is less ugly and
more readable)

Add a --mouse flag to enable mouse
interaction (mouse interaction is now
off by default)

Add a --bypass-root flag to disable
the annoying popup when you run the
utility as root

Fix an issue where you can't reach the
bottom of the list in a subdir (i also
reduced the nesting in those functions
as well for readability)

Add help feature to clap dependency to
enable --help / -h

Add usage feature to clap dependency
to enable usage example when running
with --help / -h

Remove CLI arg examples from readme,
and add instructions on how to view
them on CLI to prevent it from bloating
up the readme

**Linutil** is a distro-agnostic toolbox designed to simplify everyday Linux tasks. It helps you set up applications and optimize your system for specific use cases. The utility is actively developed in Rust 🦀, providing performance and reliability.
> [!NOTE]
> Since the project is still in active development, you may encounter some issues. Please consider [submitting feedback](https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/linutil/issues) if you do.
## 💡 Usage
To get started, pick which branch you would like to use, then run the command in your terminal:
### Stable Branch (Recommended)
```bash
curl -fsSL https://christitus.com/linux | sh
```
### Dev branch
```bash
curl -fsSL https://christitus.com/linuxdev | sh
```
### CLI arguments
View available options by running:
```bash
linutil --help
```
For installer options:
```bash
curl -fsSL https://christitus.com/linux | sh -s -- --help
```
## ⬇️ Installation
Linutil is also available as a package in various repositories:
[![Packaging status](https://repology.org/badge/vertical-allrepos/linutil.svg)](https://repology.org/project/linutil/versions)
<details>
<summary>Arch Linux</summary>
Linutil can be installed on [Arch Linux](https://archlinux.org) with three different [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org) packages:
- `linutil` - Stable release compiled from source
- `linutil-bin` - Stable release pre-compiled
- `linutil-git` - Compiled from the last commit (not recommended)
by running:
```bash
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/<package>.git
cd <package>
makepkg -si
```
Replace `<package>` with your preferred package.
If you use [yay](https://github.com/Jguer/yay), [paru](https://github.com/Morganamilo/paru) or any other [AUR Helper](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_helpers), it's even simpler:
```bash
paru -S linutil
```
Replace `paru` with your preferred helper and `linutil` with your preferred package.
</details>
<details>
<summary>OpenSUSE</summary>
Linutil can be installed on OpenSUSE with:
```bash
sudo zypper install linutil
```
</details>
<details>
<summary>Cargo</summary>
Linutil can be installed via [Cargo](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo) with:
```bash
cargo install linutil_tui
```
Note that crates installed using `cargo install` require manual updating with `cargo install --force` (update functionality is [included in LinUtil](https://christitustech.github.io/linutil/userguide/#applications-setup))
</details>
## Configuration
Linutil supports configuration through a TOML config file. Path to the file can be specified with `--config` (or `-c`).
Available options:
- `auto_execute` - a list of commands to execute automatically (can be combined with `--skip-confirmation`)
Example config:
```toml
# example_config.toml
auto_execute = [
"Fastfetch",
"Alacritty",
"Kitty"
]
```
```bash
linutil --config /path/to/example_config.toml
```
