accio: Go dependency manager

━☆

SUMMARY

accio extends Go to track buildtime dependencies.

EXAMPLE

$ cd example

$ which shadow
shadow not found

$ accio -install

$ which shadow
/home/andrew/go/bin/shadow

accio processes packages recursively.

See accio -help for more options.

Configuration

For more detail on managing Go development packages, see CONFIGURATION.md.

ABOUT

Buildtime dependency tools like golint, Mage, shadow, and so on involve executable artifacts, which go mod unfortunately silently ignores. Fortunately, we have accio to manage these kinds of dependencies.

accio automates away the low level go install commands involved in provisioning reproducible Go build environments.

Notably, accio's own runtime stack is small, requiring no other programming languages or scripts to operate.

DETAIL

Some tools have not yet updated to use go mod (Go v1.11+ modules) for library dependency management. You can customize the package go111module, e.g. go111module: "off", which activates the corresponding GO111MODULE environment variable configuration for the package.

Go does not support version pins for pre-Go v1.11 module packages.
