goad

goad is an alarming shell script used to build golang projects.

It's a template -- copy it and set your project path in the env vars at the top.

You're expected to set a symlink from ./.gopath/src/github.com/youruser/yourproject/ back up to ../../../../../ (e.g. the repo root). This causes your package import path to be the same when you're using self-contained project-relative build paths, and also when someone is looking at you through the rose-tinted glasses of go get.

Add git submodules in a similar pattern under ./.gopath/src/ to get a self contained, deterministic project build environment with no additional fuss.

is this recommended for use?

God no.

Neither is go get, though.
