README

Makefile snippets (aka "makelets" 😄) that I use for building golang projects. Everyone likes their own, I like these :bowtie: Just wanted a public place to put them so I don't end up with scattered copies everywhere.

For full batteries-included simplicity, use in a makefile as follows (make sure you replace the spaces with a tab).

(See gopkg.in/make.v1 for a list of versions)

-include $(GOPATH)/src/gopkg.in/make.v1/batteries.mk
$(GOPATH)/src/gopkg.in/make.v1/batteries.mk:
	go get gopkg.in/make.v1

Included in this repo is complete working Makefile, just drop that file in the root of your go project.

Take a look in that file to see the make rules included. If you want more control over things then you can instead include just the tool definitions:

-include $(GOPATH)/src/gopkg.in/make.v1/gotools.mk
$(GOPATH)/src/gopkg.in/make.v1/gotools.mk:
	go get gopkg.in/make.v1

Supported Tools

glide

There are a plethora of package managers / vendoring tools for go at the moment. I currently use glide.

gometalinter

Superb wrapper to simplify running a whole bunch of linters on your code. See gometalinter

This makelet defines a few settings which you can override before you include gomake.

goconvey

The goconvey makelet needs no other integration in your main makefile. Just run as follows (from your repo):

$ make goconvey

And it should install itself and fire up a webpage on http://127.0.0.1:8080. All your go test tests will be run on any code change, and you can get browser notifications when a test fails.

gocov

gocov provides a nice wrapper around go test by simplifying the process of getting code coverage on a per-package basis. The gocov-html generates a nice HTML file where you can easily see which source lines are not tested.

rice

Useful to embed directories of static files into binaries. See go.rice

gopherjs

golang in the browser #FTW. See gopherjs

gravitational/version

Allows you to print the git tag/hash of the repo when your app runs.
