All dependency resolution are provided by `go mod` commands. 15 16## Requirements 17- Go v1.13 or later 18 19## Basic usage 20At first, let's create `gotool.mod` in a project root by the following command. 21All tools which are managed by `dept` are written to `gotool.mod`. 22 23``` sh 24$ dept init 25``` 26 27Then, let's install Go tools you want to use in your project. 28``` sh 29$ dept get github.com/mitchellh/gox github.com/tcnksm/ghr@v0.12.0 30$ dept get -o lint github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/cmd/golangci-lint # rename golangci-lint as 'lint' 31``` 32 33Finally, use `exec` to execute installed commands. 34``` sh 35$ dept exec ghr -v 36ghr version v0.12.0 37``` 38 39If you want to installed commands without `dept`, please run `build`. 40``` sh 41$ dept build 42$ ls _tools 43ghr gox lint 44``` 45 46## Available commands 47### init 48``` sh 49$ dept init 50``` 51 52### get 53`dept get` installs binaries to the specified directory. 54 55``` sh 56$ dept get github.com/mitchellh/gox 57``` 58 59You can select the specified version like Go modules: 60``` sh 61$ dept get github.com/mitchellh/gox@v0.3.0 62$ dept get github.com/mitchellh/gox@v0.1.0 63``` 64 65To install a binary with another name: 66``` sh 67$ dept get -o lint github.com/golangci-lint/cmd/golangci-lint 68``` 69 70Update tools to the latest version: 71``` sh 72$ dept get -u github.com/mitchellh/gox 73$ dept get -u # update all tools 74``` 75 76### remove 77`dept remove` uninstalls passed tools. 78 79``` sh 80$ dept remove github.com/mitchellh/gox 81``` 82 83### exec 84`dept exec` executes the passed tool with arguments. 85 86``` sh 87$ dept exec ghr -v 88``` 89 90### build 91`dept build` builds all tools. 92 93``` sh 94$ dept build 95``` 96 97If `$GOBIN` enabled, it will be used preferentially. 98``` sh 99$ GOBIN=$PWD/bin dept build 100``` 101 102Also, `-d` flag is provided. 103``` sh 104$ dept build -d bin 105``` 106 107### list 108`dept list` list ups all tools managed by `dept`. 109 110``` sh 111$ dept list 112github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/cmd/golangci-lint lint v1.12.3 113github.com/mitchellh/gox gox v0.4.0 114github.com/tcnksm/ghr ghr v0.12.0 115``` 116 117You can format output with `-f` flag. 118``` sh 119$ dept list -f '{{ .Name }}' 120lint 121gox 122ghr 123``` 124 125### clean 126`dept clean` cleans up all cached tools. 127 128``` sh 129$ dept clean 130``` 131
