jgautheron/go repository overview

Portable GOPATH, inspired from an original idea⁠ by Travis Reeder.

This project takes it further by:

• mapping the current folder directly into the container's GOPATH
• preloading & locking dependencies
• bridging the go command transparently

No need to install Go or setup the GOPATH, still it works and behaves as if it was installed locally.

⁠Getting started

:warning: Most likely you will want to fork this repo, preload your own deps.

docker pull jgautheron/go

To map transparently commands with Go, I recommend adding the following to your .bashrc (Linux/Bash), .bash_profile (OSX/Bash), or .zshrc:

go() {
    local repo=$(basename ${PWD})
    local user=${${PWD%/*}##*/}
    docker run --rm -v $PWD:/root/go/src/github.com/$user/$repo -w /root/go/src/github.com/$user/$repo jgautheron/go $@
}

Then reload your file, ex. source ~/.zshrc.

All go commands can be called directly:

$ go build .

For calling binaries installed in the GOBIN, prefix it with go:

$ go golint .

⁠Locking dependencies

Let's say you're working in large teams and would like to lock the dependencies that can be used (by example, allow only logrus for logging), then you can just preload libs in your company/go container.

⁠Sublime Text + GoSublime

If you use GoSublime with Sublime Text, you're most likely running automatically several Go tools. Here's a sample GoSublime settings file configured to map commands to the container:

{
    "shell": ["/bin/zsh", "--login", "-c", "source ~/.zshrc; eval $(boot2docker shellinit); $CMD"],
    "fmt_cmd": ["go goimports"],
    "on_save": [{
        "cmd": "gs9o_open", "args": {
        "run": [
            "sh",
            "go build . errors && go test"
        ],
        "focus_view": false
        }
    }]
}

Since I'm running zsh on OSX with boot2docker, I load the file which contains my go function, inject the VM variables, then finally execute the given $CMD.
