go-binary-version-manager (gbvm)

Version manager of libraries which installed via go install command.

🔨Build And Test

Go Report Card

Motivation

The projects I worked on used different versions of the golangci-lint and mockery libraries. When I use their commands, inconsistent, strange errors occur. I am aiming to solve this problem by writing a basic binary manager that uses symlink under the hood.

This project is not specific to golangci-lint, mockery. You can use any library you want. The condition is the library must be installed via go install command.

Note: Executable binaries must be within ($GOPATH/go/bin) before using gbvm. For example, if you installed golangci-lint via homebrew, you need to delete it first. You should install with gbvm install command. Please check demo.
