Bingo v0.2.0 - Its Homebrew for "Go Get" - Now With Update and Version Support!

Introduction

Do you love the simplicity of being able to download & compile golang applications with 'go get', but wish it were easier to manage the compiled binaries?

Introducing Bingo:

• GitHub : https://github.com/TekWizely/bingo

Bingo makes installing and managing golang-compiled binaries a bit easier.

Features

• Keeps a link between the installed binary and the source package
• Can install binaries to a location of your choice
• Can control the name of the installed binary
• Can install multiple versions of the same package (using different names for the binary)
• Each binary's source package is isolated and managed in its own separate $GOROOT

Release Announcement: v0.2.0

Highlights

Update Support
You can now update existing binaries

Version Support
You can now specify which version of a package to install or update

Examples

Below are some quick usage examples. See the project's homepage for more detailed documentation and installation instructions.

# Install package latest version as "hello"
$ bingo install github.com/golang/example/hello

# Install specific version
$ bingo install github.com/golang/example/hello@v1.2.3

# Install package with a different binary name
$ bingo install -n foo github.com/golang/example/hello

# Update a binary to latest version
$ bingo update hello

# Update a binary to specific version
$ bingo update hello@v1.2.3

# List installed binaries
$ bingo installed

# Display a binary's associated package
$ bingo package hello

# Uninstall a binary and associated package folder

If you're looking for better ways to manage binaries installed via 'go get', I hope you will give my project a try.
