gorepos allows you to,

• go get private packages (even over SSH).
• Change your code hosting location without changing imports.
• Change VCS without changing imports.
• Provide import paths on your domain without managing the VCS yourself.

For example, you can use gitolite/gitorious to manage all your package repositories and provide authenticated access to them without losing the convenience of go get.

While go get has limitations in accessing private repos directly, it provides a nice discovery mechanism through <meta> tags which gorepos uses to provide convenient access.

Configuration

Ensure $GOPATH/bin is part of your $PATH. Install gorepos with,

go get github.com/tuxychandru/gorepos

The package list file must contain a line for each available package in the form,

<path> <vcs> <repo-root> [<godoc-url>]

Example

To provide access to a private git bitbucket repository on the import path go.mycompany.com/mylib, put this line in a package list file named pkgs,

/mylib git ssh://[email protected]/mycompany/mylib

Start gorepos on the server at go.mycompany.com with,

sudo gorepos -a go.mycompany.com:80 -p pkgs

Now you can import "go.mycompany.com/mylib" in your program and go get it.
