godelinit

godelinit

godelinit is a CLI that can be used to add gödel to any project. Once it is installed, invoking godelinit will add the latest version of gödel to the working directory.

Installation

go install github.com/palantir/godel/v2/godelinit@latest

Usage

Run godelinit in the root directory of a Go project to add the godelw script and godel configuration directory from the latest gödel release (as listed on https://github.com/palantir/godel/releases) to the project.

Running godelinit in the root directory of a project that already uses gödel will update that project to use the latest version (if it is already on the latest version, it will be a no-op).

The --version flag can be used to specify the version of gödel that should be installed. This flag should be used if the latest released version is not the desired one.

If a version is not specified using the --version flag, godelinit determines the latest release by querying the GitHub API of the palantir/godel GitHub project. The version of the latest release is stored in a cache directory in the gödel home directory. If the latest version was determined within the last hour, the cached version will be used (and thus an API call will not be made). The --ignore-cache flag can be used to ignore the cached version and force it to be retrieved using the GitHub API even if a valid cache entry exists.
