Heroku Buildpack: Go

This is a Heroku buildpack for Go.

heroku labs:enable user-env-compile

Configuration (optional)

Set GO_VERSION to set a custom Go version:

heroku config:set GO_VERSION=`1.1.2`

Set GO_PATH to define a custom GOPATH:

heroku config:set GO_PATH=`...`

$ ls -A1
./.git
./Procfile
./web.go

$ heroku create -b https://github.com/101loops/heroku-buildpack-go.git

The buildpack will detect your repository as Go if it contains a .go file.

The buildpack adds a heroku build constraint, to enable heroku-specific code. See the App Engine build constraints article for more.

Hacking on this Buildpack

To change this buildpack, fork it on GitHub. Push changes to your fork, then create a test app with --buildpack YOUR_GITHUB_GIT_URL and push to it. If you already have an existing app you may use heroku config:add BUILDPACK_URL=YOUR_GITHUB_GIT_URL instead of --buildpack.
