Description

This goci is a simple, but useful, implementation of a Continuous Integration (CI) tool for your Go programs.

A typical CI pipeline consists of several automated steps that continuously ensure a code base or an application is ready to be merged with some other developer’s code, usually in a shared version control repository.

For this example, the CI pipeline consists of:

• Building the program using go build to verify if the program structure is valid.
• Executing tests using go test to ensure the program does what it’s intended to do.
• Executing gofmt to ensure the program’s format conforms to the standards.
• Executing git push to push the code to the remote shared Git repository that hosts the program code.

The goci tool accepts only one flag -p of type string, which represents the Go project directory on which to execute the CI pipeline steps.

Usage

To build the app, run the following command in the root folder:

> go build .

Above command will generate goci file. This name is defined in the go.mod file, and it will be the initialized module name.

After that you can run the program using the cmd.
Example of using the pipeline for a project:

> .\goci.exe -p project/directory/
