aqwari.net/cmd/gogive

gogive is a tool that establishes an arbitrary mapping between a list of import paths and their source control repositories for use with the go get tool. This allows you to, for example, construct meaningful import paths under your own site name, such as

import "example.org/net/lldp"

While still taking advantage of third-party code hosting sites like github, which offer a lot in terms of scalability and collabaration tools (issues, etc).

To run gogive, create a configuration file with lines of the form

prefix vcs repo

Where prefix is the import path prefix, vcs is the version control tool, and repo is the url of the actual source repository. Then run gogive:

$ gogive /path/to/gogive-config-file

For use as a service, run it under a supervisor such as Upstart, daemontools, supervisord, or systemd.
