README

gojen

Define your go project's configuration using a json config. This config can be used to generate a new go project for you, and can also create configs for different tools.

This project also helps you maintain your code after the scaffolding process, simply run gojen to vendor deps, tidy them, fmt your code, golangci-lint run, go test and go build your code.

$ gojen
ℹ  | Setup | running go mod vendor
ℹ  | Setup | running go mod tidy
ℹ  | Setup | running go fmt
ℹ  | Lint | running go linter
✅  | Lint | go linter passed
ℹ  | Test | running go test

Features

Release workflow

Github actions workflow that simply runs the golangci-lint action, followed by gojen to vendor/tidy/fmt/test/build our code, a release job that creates a github release, and finally another workflow that uploads our built binary to the release we just created.

Is triggered on a push to the defaultReleaseBranch inside gojen.json.

Build workflow

Github workflow that runs the golangci-lint action, followed by gojen. Is triggered on pull request creation.

Generate project

gojen new

Runing gojen after the project has been created does the following things:

• go mod vendor
• go mod tidy
• go fmt
• golangci-lint
• go test
• go build

Known issues

1. The default GITHUB_TOKEN cannot be used for the release workflow since if the release is created by the github bot, the upload binary workflow will not run.

So please upload a GITHUB token inside the repo secrets, and add the key to the secret inside gojen.json

Example project

https://github.com/Hunter-Thompson/test-gojen https://github.com/Hunter-Thompson/gojen - yes gojen uses gojen : )

Notes

This project was inspired by #projen/projen.
