brew-go¶ ↑
Manage Go tools via Homebrew. Don't clutter your $GOPATH
anymore.
Internally brew-go still relies on go get
, but puts things into /usr/local/Cellar/brew-go-*
, builds the binary, removes everything else that was needed for building, and links the binary to /usr/local/bin/*
. All in one go.
The gem was inspired by this blog post.
Installation¶ ↑
$ gem install brew-go
If you're not a Ruby user, chances are that you use the system's /usr/bin/gem
, which tries installing to a directory that isn't writable by the user. Assuming you have a local bin directory in $PATH, e.g. ~/bin
, use this instead:
$ gem install --user-install -n ~/bin brew-go
Alternatively, just download the script in any directory from $PATH and make it executable.
Usage¶ ↑
See brew go
for all available commands.
