go-build is a library containing common build commands for Go libraries, based on goyek. While the tasks are primarily to satisfy build requirements for https://github.com/curioswitch, they are intended to be generally useful so if you'd like, give them a try.

The simplest way to use this library is to copy the contents of build from this repository, which itself is using the defined tasks. You can add it to a Go workspace to keep build-specific libraries like goyek out of your standard modules file, or remove the go.mod / go.sum files to include it as a normal package.

Using the folder build is a goyek convention, but any folder name will work, i.e. if you already use build for transient artifacts. Note that these tasks use out for transient artifacts.

A list of all tasks can be seen with go run ./build -h. The commonly used tasks will likely be:

• go run ./build check - executes all code checks, including lint and unit tests. This should be the command run from a CI script.

• go run ./build format - executes all auto-formatting.
