🧩 Tool

Template for a typical CLI-tool written on Go.

🛫 Quick start

Work with Makefile

$ make setup
$ make help

$ make find-todos
$ make test lint
$ TIMEOUT=5s make test-with-coverage

Work with Taskfile

$ alias run=./Taskfile
$ run help

$ run docs # === `run docs install -- build -- start`
$ run docs npm ci
$ run docs npm i nextra@latest

$ run tools go generate tools.go
$ run tools golangci-lint --version -- mockgen --version
$ run which goimports golangci-lint govulncheck mockgen

Work with Tools

$ make tools
$ source bin/activate

$ which goimports
$ goimports -local $(go list -m) -w ./...

Work with Docker

$ make go-1.19 # or go-1.20, etc.
/src# make go-env 2>/dev/null | grep GOVERSION
# GOVERSION:   1.19.10
/src# make test

💡 Idea

Define a powerful template that quickly creates a new Go CLI-tool. Not only does it provide a starting point for new projects, but it comes equipped with pre-configured ci/cd and inventory.

$ tool do action

🏆 Motivation

At OctoLab, we want to start new projects faster using best practices with a predefined structure and focusing on core ideas implementation rather than wasting time on environment configuration and copying boilerplate code.

🤼‍ How to

Build your own tool

1. Generate a new repository from the template.
2. Clone the repository locally.
3. Update the desired files as needed.
4. Write your code and tests.
5. 🚀

Contribute to the template

1. Read the contribution guidelines.
2. Fork the repository.
3. Make your changes.
4. Send a pull request.
5. 🤗

Before you start, please make sure your changes are in demand. The best for that is to create a new discussion, or if you find an issue, report it first.
