Package Big Binary makes it easy to bundle all your go programs into a single big binary
To generate a Big Binary using appa and appb in the following directory tree:
├── appa
└── appb
Do:
$ genbigbin --to mybigbin --apply ./appa ./appbThat will:
- Turn appa and appb into applets of mybigbin
- Create also stand alone versions in appa/appa & appb/appb
Then run mybigbin in the binary folder of your choice to autogenerate all symlinks:
$ mybigbin
Rebuilding symlinks:
{full path here}/mybigbin -> appa
{full path here}/mybigbin -> appbFinally you can invoke each app individually, from the same big bynary executable file, by using the appropriate symlink:
$ ./appa
App A running... $ ./appb
App B doing its thing...In case you changed your mind and want to go back to your code without bigbin support, do:
$ genbigbin --restore --to mybigbin --apply ./appa ./appb$ genbigbin
Usage:
genbigbin [flags] mainDir1 [mainDir2...]
Flags:
-apply
Apply changes to the filesystem (false by default)
-restore
Restore files to before the big binary changes intead (false by default)
-to string
Directory in where to generate the big binary main (by default is empty and does not create a big binary main)
