gore

Go remote run, an all-in-one Linux tool for cross-compilation and execution of Go programs on a remote system.

Born out of engineer's laziness, gore seeks to combine three commands, go build, scp, and ssh with all their necessary arguments and environment variables into one goreous tool trying to mimic—and of course, improve—the go run command while targeting a remote system. Unlike go run, gore run can be run directly from your working directory without specifying a source file. It is useful e.g. when prototyping on a Raspberry Pi or similar board or headless system, where you might not want to set up a separate programming environment.

Installation

go get github.com/stuomas/gore

Syntax

gore run <optional file path>

When you run gore for the first time, it asks you to set up a configuration file interactively. The file is created in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gore/config.toml, where you can freely change the settings. You can force interactive re-configuration with gore config. For experimentation, you can also set the parameters as arguments before the run command:

  -arch
    Target architecture.
  -arm
    ARM version.
  -dir
    Target directory.
  -host
    Target IP or hostname.
  -user
    Username at target.
  -os 
    Target operating system.

Notes

As of now, gore does not prefer to be bothered about passwords, so you should have key-based authentication set up to your remote system!
