Top 8 Go Tail Projects

Tail

  1. script

    Making it easy to write shell-like scripts in Go

    Project mention: Goscript: Go For (go-pher?) Scripting | dev.to | 2025-04-15

    Goscript is an opinionated tool aimed at making scripting in Go more convenient. It was inspired by bitfield/script, which brings functionality similar to Unix pipes to Go. By opinionated, I mean that Goscript embraces Go modules (rather than GOPATH with modules turned off) and uses a dedicated module project for your "scripts". It asks you to update your PATH as part of the setup so that your scripts can be immediately available as system-wide commands. It enables treating Go code like a local script with --exec and shebang options, but encourages reuse by letting you name your commands and then saving them, together with source, in your dedicated Goscript project. Finally, its many options are designed to make the project fade into the background and make writing scripts in Go convenient and easy like your favorite scripting language.
