gdoc is a small utility to search on GoDoc.org. It's also suitable to read package documents via command-line.

Warning: This tool is only tested on Linux and OSX.

With a properly configured Go environment:

go get -u github.com/buraksezer/gdoc

gdoc search <keyword>

gdoc lists the first 10 package as default. If you want to increase or decrease that number, use -c/--count parameter:

gdoc search -c 3 <keyword>

gdoc has an interactive mode. If you use the -i/--interactive parameter when you search something, gdoc lists packages with numbers and await for your action to fetch its document from GoDoc.org.

Sample output:

gdoc search -i memberlist
==> (1) github.com/hashicorp/memberlist
==> imports: 192 stars: 804
memberlist is a library that manages cluster membership and member failure detection using a gossip based protocol.

==> (2) github.com/Nitro/memberlist
==> imports: 3 stars: 0
memberlist is a library that manages cluster membership and member failure detection using a gossip based protocol.

==> (3) github.com/journeymidnight/nentropy/memberlist
==> imports: 3 stars: 1
....
Give a number to read the document:

gdoc read <package path>

Sample usage:

gdoc read github.com/hashicorp/memberlist

Fetches the package document from GoDoc.org in text format and pipes to an available pager. gdoc looks for GDOC_PAGER and PAGER environment variables to get the pager command as respectively. If you want to disable paging, use --disable-pager parameter:

gdoc read --disable-pager <package path> 

gdoc supports aliases to access easily the frequently used documents. If you set an alias for a package previously, just use -a/--alias to get the document for that package.

gdoc read -a <alias>

In order to add an alias for a package:

gdoc alias set <short name> <package path>

Sample usage:

gdoc alias set memberlist github.com/hashicorp/memberlist

If you want to delete previously setted alias, just use del subcommand:

gdoc alias del <short name>

You can use list subcommand to list already setted aliases.
