cedric(1) is a vendoring tool for Go built with simplicity in mind. Its
only purpose and functionality is to read dependencies from a package,
download, and copy them into the vendor/ directory. This allows authors to
use Go's vendoring system for importing external packages.
cedric's functionality includes:
- No additional configuration file for version locking or similar used
- No requirement on the Go vendor experiment by itself
- Scan packages and its subdirectories recursively
- Automatically add Git repositories as submodules
- Flat dependency tree
go get -u github.com/Acconut/cedric
cedric(1) will not download the dependencies on its own. Instead it outputs a Bash script which, when executed, will download and copy the external packages into the vendor directory. By default, it will scan the current package recursively (excluding vendor/ and other directories such as .git/).
$ bash -c "$(cedric)"$ cat <<EOF > main.go
package main
import (
"github.com/fatih/color"
)
func main() {
color.Cyan("Hello World!")
}
EOF
$ git init
$ bash -c "$(cedric)"
$ go run main.go
# Hello World!
