🧳 gobundle

quickly update or install your go tools

Gobundle makes your Go tools portable and allows you to keep them up to date.

Installing / Getting started

go get github.com/iwittkau/gobundle/cmd/gobundle@latest
gobundle -v

Usage

$ gobundle -h
Usage of gobundle:
  -d    dumps installed tools and versions to gobundle.json
  -f string
        set configuation file
  -i    init configuration in home directory
  -v    print version

Initial Configuration

gobundle -i

Features

If you run gobundle without any flags, it tries to install the packages defined in your .gobundle configuration.

By using version latest for a package you can ensure you are always installing the latest available version of a tool. By specifying a specific version, you can pin a tool to this version. If you use branch as the version, gobundle installs the latest available version of that branch (e.g. master).

Keeping your Go tools up to date

By choosing latest as the version and running gobundle regularly, you can keep your go tools up to date easily.

Dumping your installed tools and their versions

• gobundle -d dumps a gobundle.json of all tools and their installed versions from the $GOPATH/bin directory.
• Tools that were built from local source will be skipped.
• To install tools from a dumped gobundle.json use gobundle -f gobundle.json.

Configuration

If gobundle -i was previously run, a configuration file will exist in $HOME/.gobundle.

It is a very simple data structure, check examples/gobundle.json.

You can start by dumping your curently installed tools and copy them to $HOME/.gobundle

$ gobundle -d
$ cp ./gobundle.json ~/.gobundle
