Usage:

Usage: gbe_fork_helper <command> [options]

Commands:
            apply <platform> <appid> - Apply GBE to Steam API files and configure DLCs
            update                   - Update the GBE fork repository
            version                  - Display the application version

Roadmap

Improve Platform Compatibility:

    [ ] Abstract external commands (7z). Consider using native Go libraries for archive extraction to remove the dependency on a pre-installed 7z.

Implement DLC Configuration (steam_settings):

    [ ] Create a new command (gbe_tool dlc configure <appid>) that uses fetchDLCs and allows the user to select and save which DLCs to enable.

User Interface

    [ ] Research and select a Go GUI library (like Fyne, Wails, or Gio).

    [ ] Create a new application entry point for the GUI (e.g., in cmd/gbe_gui/main.go).

    [ ] Build the UI components (buttons for "Update", "Apply", a list for DLCs, etc.).

    [ ] Connect the UI buttons to call the functions in your refactored gbe, updater, and steam packages. The GUI should be a thin layer that orchestrates calls to your well-tested core logic.
