lockfile

Overview ¶

Package lockfile serializes work between devbay processes.

devbay is a short-lived CLI, and the interesting operations are the ones several copies of it perform at once: two terminals, or an agent calling `devbay new` three times in parallel, which is the thing devbay is for. A mutex only orders the goroutines inside one process, so anything that reads shared state, modifies it, and writes it back needs a lock the operating system enforces across processes.
