godev eases your Go development by providing functions to manage your GOPATH and source directories.

Some main examples:

1. Start a new workspace for development using godev start

   $ godev start my_workspace

   This will create a directory called my_workspace in your GODEV_ROOT (see below), containing src, bin, and pkg. If my_workspace already exists, it only checks whether the latter three directories have been created. If you also pass the -a flag, my_workspace's path will be prepended to the existing GOPATH. Otherwise, GOPATH will exclusively point to my_workspace.

2. Revert to system GOPATH

   $ godev stop

3. Symlink directories into src in your active workspace

   It's easy to have your real source directories anywhere outside GOPATH and still be able to do proper imports and/or builds. You only need to symlink them into the active workspace's src directory using godev add:

   $ godev add my_src my_other_src

Run godev help for the complete usage listing.

1. Checkout from the repo, for example into ~

   $ git clone git://github.com/bow/godev.git ~

2. Create a GODEV_ROOT directory. This will be the directory containing all your workspaces. A good example would be ~/.godev

   $ mkdir -p ~/.godev

3. Add the following entry to your .bashrc (or something similar)

   $ echo "export GODEV_ROOT=~/.godev" >> ~/.bashrc  # path to previously set GODEV_ROOT
   $ echo "source ~/godev/godev.sh" >> ~/.bashrc     # path to main godev file

4. Reload your .bashrc

   $ source ~/.bashrc

5. And you're set!
