Local development with replace directives

Local development often involves local replace directives like

replace aduu.dev/utils => ../go/aduu-dev-utils

But tests fail when they are encountered on different build machines like Github Actions. To Avoid this I wrote this small script which can temporarily remove the local replacements, especially during git commits.

This avoids having to think about one last step before a push: removing local replace directives.

Install

go get aduu.dev/tools/gogit/gogitcmd/gogit

Examples

You are in a git repository root and you want to temporarily remove local go.mod replace directives during commit.

Automatically during commit

The replace commands can be installed into a pre-commit hook.

To install the git pre-commit and post-commit hooks:

gogit install-hooks .

What is basically being inserted is

.git/hooks/pre-commit:

#!/bin/bash

gogit replace .
git add go.mod

.git/hooks/post-commit

#!/bin/bash

gogit replace --undo .

The base command gogit can be replaced with a flag for install-hooks: --base-command=my-command

Manual

This way you can temporarily remove local replace directives:

gogit replace .

A backup is being written into "go.mod.b".

To reapply a backup:

gogit replace --undo .
