A tool to compare which go packages will need be to rebuilt as a result of changes between two git diffs.
Ideally used as part of a CI/CD pipeline to see which servies should be rebuilt and redeployed
N.B. Name inspired by terraforms taint terminology
- git MUST be installed and be on the path where tainted is run
go get -u github.com/kynrai/tainted
see releases for latest binaries
From the go project repo e.g. $GOPATH/src/github.com/user/repo/
go list ./... | tainted
It using the standard go repo layout (recommended)
go list ./cmd/... | tainted
You can manually set the git commit ranges, by default the previous commit is checked with HEAD. i.e. HEAD~1..HEAD
You can change any or all of the params
go list ./... | tainted -from=HEAD~2
go list ./... | tainted -from=HEAD~1 -to=HEAD~1
