Gogitmail

Why

this tool is written in golang for learning purposes.

this tool was supposed to answer a couple of criteria:

• Work with an API and ingest some data from it

• Marshal/UnMarshal Json objects

• use gomock as mocking package (see here)

• use ginkgo as the testing framework (see here)

Purpose

this repo holds a tool to configure your email depending of your git provider

the resoning is that each provider (github/gitlab) can have a hidden email that doesn’t expose your email outside.

this means that each repo has to have a local setting of user.email
