Galapagos

Initial Setup

Setup #1: Repository

1. Place the galapagos folder in your GOCODE src folder, usually ~/code/gocode/src.

Setup #2: Go Tools

Note: Don't install Go using Homebrew, or autocomplete will not work in Atom correctly.

1. Install Go as a binary distribution from: https://golang.org/

2. Install Godep (for dependency management):

   $ go get github.com/tools/godep
   

Setup #3: Setup your editor

Atom is the recommended text editor for Go source.

1. Install Atom.

2. Install the following packages in Atom:

• autocomplete-plus
• go-plus

Development

Adding a new dependency

Note: The only time you need to use godep is when you add a new dependency to an application or update an existing dependency that is already vendored in your application.

1. Use go-get to get the dependency (EXAMPLE):

   $ go get -u github.com/russross/blackfriday
   

2. Add a relevant import in a Go file:

   import "github.com/russross/blackfriday"
   

3. Vendor the additional import (records it, copies it to Godeps/, rewrites imports):

   $ godep save -r ./...
   

Updating an existing dependency

$ go get -u <dependency>

$ godep update <dependency>
