This is a recap of my new and updated golang projects

Go-MyGit

This is a replacement for my mygit, which I wanted to do it for a long time. Though bash is more than capable for the job, using golang made the process 10x more enjoyable. Using cobra and 2 of my own libraries allow a very structure code and command line layout.

Right now it support the following features:

• Configuration File
  • remotes
  • groups
  • secrets
• Selector for git servers
  • -g/–group
  • -r/–remote
• Base(git) Commands
  • init
  • push
  • remote
    • add
    • list
    • remove
• repository(api)
  • list all repo on server
  • create repo on server
  • get/set
    • description
    • private
    • public key(get only)
    • secret
    • topic
    • visibility
  • delete
    • repository
    • secret

All repo and base commands support processing multiple repos/dirs, with the exception of description and topic.

A minor drawback is the 11M binary size vs 15k for mygit. 🤦

Go-Crypto

This is a baby project to do NACL box seal anonymous from command line.

I created this for my final version of bash mygit to set github action secret.

Go-GitApi

This is the actual api library of go-mygit. It was a fun project to do and the final product support middleware behavior, which bring back memory from javascript.

Example:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9

apiP := gitapi.GitApiNew(... snip ...)
// Set Github header
apiP.HeaderGithub()
// Do POST
apiP.Post()
// Check status
var success bool = apiP.Res.Ok()

helper.ReportStatus(success, apiP.Repo + "(" + apiP.Name + ")", true)

Can be written as follow:

1
2
3

apiP := gitapi.GitApiNew(... snip ...).HeaderGithub().Post().Res.Ok()

helper.ReportStatus(success, apiP.Repo + "(" + apiP.Name + ")", true)

Of course this is not good coding style, especially golang doesn’t support the dot notation like javascript does. Following is how javascript format will look like:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7

var success = gitapi
  .GitApiNew(... snip ...)
  .HeaderGithub()
  .Post()
  .Res.Ok()

helper.ReportStatus(success, apiP.Repo + "(" + apiP.Name + ")", true)

Go-Helper

This package expand a lot due to go-gitapi and go-mygit. It grow from a single file for go-png2ico to 8 like following:

It really save me tones of time, especially report.go, when dealing with output in go-mygit.
