Tired of remembering the names of the libraries you need on github? Tired of writing long commands like go get -u github.com/gomodule/redigo/redis? Then the gost is for you!

The command allows you to assign aliases for popular libraries and not remember long repository names.

Require go 1.16.0 or later, to install run:

go install github.com/satmaelstorm/gost@latest

-v - verbose output

-s - soft launch

--no-color - disable colored output

You can export env GOST_ALIASES to rewrite build-in aliases and export GOST_ADD_ALIASES to add and replace build-in aliases. For example: GOST_ALIASES="/home/user/gost.aliases.yaml" ./gost mod -s webserver

You can rewrite default aliases and bundles of aliases with your own - gost try to read file gost.aliases.yaml in a current directory to rewrite build-in aliases.

Also two flags present:

--aliases - file to full rewrite build-in aliases (include loaded from gost.aliases.yaml)

--aliases-add - file to add and replace build-in aliases

Reading and replacing order:

1. From env
2. From file in current directory
3. From flags

You can run ghost mod with --threads = N for multithreading, but then the order in which the go get is executed is not guaranteed, there may be side effects.

Do go get -u commands with use of aliases and bundles of aliases.

Usage: gost mod module1 module2 ...

Sample (with soft launch):

gost mod webserver -s
    
Use soft Launch

/usr/local/go/bin/go get -u github.com/valyala/fasthttp
/usr/local/go/bin/go get -u github.com/fasthttp/router
/usr/local/go/bin/go get -u github.com/stretchr/testify
/usr/local/go/bin/go get -u github.com/satmaelstorm/envviper
/usr/local/go/bin/go mod download

If there is strictly one / in the name of the module - it is perceived as a github module:

gost mod tidwall/rtree
Use soft Launch

/usr/local/go/bin/go get -u github.com/tidwall/rtree
/usr/local/go/bin/go mod download

But gost recognize gopkg.in and golang.org:

gost mod gopkg.in/yaml.v1 -s
Use soft Launch

/usr/local/go/bin/go get -u gopkg.in/yaml.v1
/usr/local/go/bin/go mod download

Names with more than one / - are sent to go get unchanged:

gost mod gopkg.in/Graylog2/go-gelf.v1 -s
Use soft Launch

/usr/local/go/bin/go get -u gopkg.in/Graylog2/go-gelf.v1
/usr/local/go/bin/go mod download

Starts new project in dir --package-name in current dir, do mod init and all, what do gost mod command.
