gobu

Painless bootstrapping of GOlang. It downloads and installs GO for your OS and architecture, sets GOROOT, GOPATH and runs default shell or your command.

Usage of gobu:
  -GOPATH string
    	Overide GOPATH (default "/home/username/gobu")
  -env_path string
    	Location of GO instalation (default "/home/username/.gobu")
  -exec string
    	Run command instead of default shell
  -version string
    	Version of Golang you wish to use (default "1.7")

You can find compiled binaries for your platform under "Releases" or if you prefer quick install:

$ curl -L https://github.com/dz0ny/gobu/releases/download/v0.7.1/gobu-`uname -s`-`uname -m` > /usr/local/bin/gobu
$ chmod +x /usr/local/bin/gobu

Example starting new project

$ mkdir -p project/src/hello_world
$ cd project
$ gobu
2016/08/25 09:55:52 >> You are now in a new GOBU shell. To exit, type 'exit'
2016/08/25 09:55:52 GOPATH /home/dz0ny/project
2016/08/25 09:55:52 GOROOT /home/dz0ny/.gobu/1.7/go
$ nano src/hello_world/main.go

package main

import "fmt"
func main() {
    fmt.Println("hello world")
}

$ go build hello_world
$ tree
.
├── hello_world
└── src
    └── hello_world
        └── main.go

What it does

Downloads latest version from releases and runs it in shell. After the GO is bootstrapped you will end up in shell with "Vendoring" enabled and with fresh env set up for you.

Why

Because I hate setting environment every time for every project(not library).
