Give thanks (in the form of a GitHub ★) to your fellow Go modules maintainers.
GoThanks performs the following operations
- Sends a star to Go's repo (github.com/golang.go)
- Reads your go.mod file and sends a star to every Github repository that your app/library depends on
This is a simple way to say thanks to the maintainers of the modules you use and the contributors of Go itself.
GoThanks is a Go port of symfony/thanks implemented by Nicolas Grekas (nicolas-grekas) for PHP.
Original idea by Doug Tangren (softprops) for Rust.
$ go get -u github.com/psampaz/gothanksIn order to run GoThanks you need to have a valid Github Access Token.
You can pass the token as an argument to GoThanks or store it in an environmental variable named GITHUB_TOKEN.
Inside the folder where your go.mod lives run:
$ ./gothanks -github-token=xxxxxxor
$ export GITHUB_TOKEN=xxxxx
$ ./gothanks$ ./gothanks
Welcome to GoThanks :)
You are about to star you beloved dependencies.
