gotool

by ohmystack (jiangjun1990@gmail.com)

gotool is a command-line tool for Golang to help the developer to source the workspace, and unsource it.

It is greatly inspired by the virtualenv from Python.

But here is only a small script. Cool, right?

Feature

• Activate/deactivate the current path as a $GOPATH
• Add the relevant 'bin' directory into $PATH
• Auto detect Godeps path
• Colorful $PS1 support for zsh

We will have more feature in the future. Please tell me if you have a good idea.

Installation

$ cp gotool /usr/local/bin/gotool

Usage

$ gotool -h
Golang Developer Tool
Usage: source gotool [a|activate] [d|deactivate|exit]

Activate

Activate current path, adding it into $GOPATH and its ./bin into $PATH.

cd <your-workspace>
source gotool activate

# OR use 'a' for short
source gotool a

Done!

You will see a prefix, the name of this directory, in front of your PS1. If the path is under Godeps/_workspace/, the prefix will be the project name.

Then, you can check your $GOPATH and $PATH.

Deactivate

source gotool deactivate

# OR use 'd' for short
source gotool d

# OR
source gotool exit
