Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.
versioninfo
-
Libraries you use most of your projects?
Oh, also https://github.com/carlmjohnson/versioninfo . Always need that.
-
FreePad | A free self-hosted pad written in go
Don’t. It’s obsolete. Just use debug.ReadBuildInfo()
-
Makefile and Dockerfile best practices
That’s obsolete. See https://github.com/carlmjohnson/versioninfo. Even if it weren’t, Make is an inappropriate tool. Because it is based on file modtimes, it can’t react to git hash changes. You just have rerun the steps every time, at which point Bash is a less awful language.

How to embed version when `go install`-ing (since you cannot use go:generate or ldflags -X)
Go 1.18 updates the debug info to also include the git status of the build. See https://github.com/carlmjohnson/versioninfo
-
Go 1.18 - debug/info - why not include the current git tag?
I use this trick in my versioninfo package. Obviously, it can't give you other tags, but most of the time the tag you want to know about is v1.2.3 anyway, and since tags are mutable but the Go sum DB is immutable, this is safer than just saying what tag was on disk at build time.

Getting excited for Go 1.18's lesser known features
I subscribed to GH activity for the correspondence friendliness-enhancing library by the author:
https://github.com/carlmjohnson/versioninfo/
The primary motivation curiousity to learn if this becomes "the [best/default] way" folks reach for when leveraging BuildInfo to deliver explicit binary versioning.
requests
- I wrote my own Go HTTP client
- requests v0.23.4 with XML support

How use gorilla/http for requests
Here is a good HTTP client library that is still under maintenance: https://github.com/carlmjohnson/requests

The Go libraries that never failed us: 22 libraries you need to know
https://blog.carlmjohnson.net/post/2021/requests-golang-http-client/ talks about why that’s the API. To be honest, I think a lot of people have an irrational fear of mutability. If you want to make a clone, use .Clone(). If not then don’t. But if you don’t like mutability, you’re going to dislike using the Go standard library, which uses mutable package variables all over the place.
-
Too many returns?
Yeah, tons of boilerplate. See https://blog.carlmjohnson.net/post/2021/requests-golang-http-client/
-
How I write offline API tests in Go
Yeah, I made a simple response recorder inspired by VCR. VCR is a little more complex than I need but the basic approach is great.

-
json response data from curl tool is different than http.Get method.
The native Go HTTP library is very capable, but it is extremely verbose. At the risk of introducing more complexity, I suggest using https://github.com/carlmjohnson/requests just so you don’t have to deal with checking all the errors and making the status code is correct.

How GoLang Generics Empower Concise API: HTML Table Extraction Case Study
What the other commenter said but also read this: https://blog.carlmjohnson.net/post/2021/requests-golang-http-client/ It talks about the need for clients and contexts throughout.
-
go-vcr v3 has been released
VCR is a great project, and because it uses the standard Go http.RoundTripper interface, you can use it with other projects!
