A selection of snippets to help you get started with various tools via Go's custom command. This Readme describes syntax of a command and the structure of the repository. For more information about Go's support for a command repository, please see:

http://www.thoughtworks-studios.com/docs/go/current/help/command_repository.html

Caution: Please do not change/add anything under the default repo on the Go server. The directory will be deleted and re-created upon Go Server upgrade. Refer the above link for setting up your own private command repository.

Go Server bundles a clone of the repository at https://github.com/goteam/go-command-repo by default. The file version.txt is meant to allow conditional overwriting of the repository during server upgrades.

A valid command file looks like this:

<exec command="curl">
  <arg>-u</arg>
  <arg>user:password</arg>
  <arg>http://targeturl</arg>
</exec>

It must be a valid .xml file (escape special characters). The command attribute is mandatory. No other attributes are valid. Zero or more arg child elements can be specified. No other child elements are allowed. One command file may only contain one command.

Documentation is fully optional but it aids lookup and use if present. Here is the above command with full documentation. Each item of documentation is key:value. Only whitespace characters may precede a key. Value terminates with newline (no multi-line values).

note: author refers to author of the command xml file, not the underlying tool :-)
