It has detailed instruction on how to write a subcommand plugin , build / test / debug / publish and integrate into the main commmand.

How to build / Test

        - With Vault URL    
        go run .\main.go --zone=us-east-1 --vaultUrl=http://<server-address>:<port>/v1/kv-v1 --accountId=SYNECTIKS/HR/AWS/1111111111 --vaultToken=xxxxxxxxxx
        or
        go run .\main.go getElementDetails --zone=us-east-1 --vaultUrl=http://<server-address>:<port>/v1/kv-v1 --accountId=SYNECTIKS/HR/AWS/111111111 --vaultToken=xxxxxxxxxx
        
        - With Access/Secret key
        go run .\main.go --zone=us-east-1 --accessKey=######### --secretKey=######### --externalId=######### --crossAccountRoleArn=#########
        or
        go run .\main.go  getElementDetails --zone=us-east-1 --accessKey=######### --secretKey=######### --externalId=######### --crossAccountRoleArn=#########

        Another way of testing is by running go install command
        go install
        - go install command creates an exe with the name of the module (e.g. awsx-cloudelements) and save it in the GOPATH
        - Now we can execute this command on command prompt as below
        - With Vault URL    
        awsx-cloudelements --zone=us-east-1 --vaultUrl=http://<server-address>:<port>/v1/kv-v1 --accountId=SYNECTIKS/HR/AWS/111111111 --vaultToken=xxxxxxxxxx
        - With Access/Secret key
        awsx-cloudelements --zone=us-east-1 --accessKey=######### --secretKey=######### --externalId=######### --crossAccountRoleArn=#########
