Vend

A Swiss Army knife for vendoring your own Go packages.

Installation

go get github.com/emil2k/vend

Compatibility

• Go 1.2+
• Should work on OSX and Linux, someone should test it on Windows.

Usage

This tool makes a couple of assumptions about a given package :

• The dependencies are present, run go get -u.

• Located in the proper location in the GOPATH.

  If you are working on a fork, make sure the package is located in the directory in your GOPATH allocated for the original package. You can add your fork as a remote.

vend init

For the package in the current working directory copies all external packages into the specified [directory], while updating all the import paths. The specified [directory] is created if necessary. External packages are packages not located in the standard library, a parent directory, or a subdirectory.

The packages are copied into a subdirectory specified by the package name. If multiple dependencies have the same package name the command will fail and provide all the duplicates, the user should use the vend cp command to place those packages in unique directories before running vend init again to process the other packages.

vend init [directory]

-f=false: forces copy, replaces destination folder
-i=false: include hidden files, files starting with a dot
-r=false: recurse into subdirectories to include their dependencies
-v=false: detailed output

Example :

vend init ./lib

vend cp

Copies the package in the [from] import path or directory to the [to] directory, updating the necessary import paths for the package in the current working directory.

vend cp [from] [to]

-f=false: forces copy, replaces destination folder
-i=false: include hidden files, files starting with a dot
-r=false: recurse into subdirectories to update their import paths of the copied packages
-v=false: detailed output

Example :

vend cp image/png ./lib/mypng

vend mv

Moves the package in the [from] path or directory to the [to] directory, updating the necessary import paths for the package in the current working directory. The mv subcommand cannot be used with standard packages, use cp instead.

vend mv [from] [to]

-f=false: forces move, replaces destination folder
-i=false: include hidden files, files starting with a dot
-r=false: recurse into subdirectories to update their import paths of the moved packages
-v=false: detailed output

Example :

vend mv ./lib/pq ./lib/postgresql

vend path

Updates all the usages of the import path [from] to the import path [to] for the package in the current working directory. When updating it includes import paths located in subdirectories of the [from] import path, updating them to their corresponding location in the [to] import path.

vend path [from] [to]

-r=false: recurse into subdirectories to update their import paths
-v=false: detailed output

Example :

vend path github.com/example/lib/pq github.com/lib/pq

vend list

Lists all the dependencies of the package specified by the [path], if ommitted defaults to the current working directory. The [path] can be specified relative to the current working directory or as an import path resolved through the GOPATH.

vend list [arguments] [path]

-c=false: omit child packages, located in subdirectories
-q=false: outputs only import paths
-r=false: include imports from packages located in subdirectories
-s=false: omit standard packages
-t=false: omit test files when compiling imports
-v=false: outputs details for each import

vend info

Print out information regarding the package specified by the [path], if ommitted defaults to the current working directory. The [path] can be specified relative to the current working directory or as an import path resolved through the GOPATH.

vend info [arguments] [path]

-v=false: detailed output

TODO: vend name

Changes the package name of the package specified by the [path] import path or directory to the [name], updating all the qualified identifiers for the package in the current working directory. Qualified identifiers aren't modified if the package name is defined during import. The name subcommand cannot be used with standard packages, you must first cp the package out of the GOROOT.

Example :

vend name ./lib/mypq mypq

TODO: vend each

Changes to the directory of each dependency, outside of the standard library, for the package in the current working directory and runs the [command].

Example :

vend each go test -v .
