stefanmaric / g Goto Github PK

g is such a vague command name and there is no way to find out what the tool is, even when running g --help. Please add the repo URL and possibly a description.

getting this error in fish shell

Expected:

g install latest should fetch and install latest golang version (currently v1.13.5) using the following url: https://dl.google.com/go/go1.13.5.darwin-amd64.tar.gz

Actual:

g install latest attempts to fetch https://dl.google.com/go/go1.13.5.darwin-386.tar.gz which returns a 404 due to bad $arch variable

Suggested resolution:

Use uname -m instead of uname -a when setting $arch.

Thanks for the nice tool that support fish! Yey!

Just small feedback on the naming of the tool. Single character naming is I think not very fortunate because it might collide with user's aliases or some other utilities. In this case, I have a conflict with git aliases (https://github.com/simnalamburt/cgitc) and I can imagine there will be quiet some people who might have same problem.

Do you know if simply renaming the installed binary will break things or not?

Would be great to have a formula for homebrew. I can contribute if interested.

Whenever I try installing any version of Go lower than 1.5, I get the following error:

tar: Unrecognized archive format
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.

I believe this is because the script tries downloading from https://dl.google.com/go/go1.4.darwin-amd64.tar.gz, but if you go to https://golang.org/dl/ , there are no such links that follow the format that the script expects. It seems as if they only started following that format with 1.5 and later.

It would be great to keep the usage of g similar to n. For example, n ls lists all the available node versions, but the corresponding command in g is g list-all. Is there any reason why ?

Describe the bug

Can not install/download Go version below 1.16. i.e: 1.13 and 1.15

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. check all that avail versions using g list-all. Version 1.13 and 1.15 exist on the list.
2. execute g install 1.13

Error output

selected: 1.13

ERROR: invalid version 1.13

n let's you switch between the different versions you have installed by running n <version> - it would be nice if there was a similar ability here. Or if there is already, how do you do so? There's g run <version> but that does not seem to be persistent.

Hi @stefanmaric thanks for this version manager.

Is it possible to provide a flag to the installer to specify the dotfile for shell.

I'm using the installer in an ansible role (https://galaxy.ansible.com/damianoneill/smg). Ansible uses a non-login shell over ssh, therefore for bash this will always select ~/.bashrc where ideally I want to update the dotfile for the login shell i.e. ~/.bash_profile.

Therefore if you could provide a way for me to overload the get_dotfile_for_shell response that would be fantastic.

Alternatively, if you have another suggestion that would be great.

Thanks,
Damian.

Running any "g" command gives error:
ERROR: $GOPATH and $GOROOT environment variables are required.

But
#go env | grep "GOR|GOPA"
GOPATH="/home/kroning/go"
GOROOT="/usr/lib/go-1.18"

Ubuntu 22.04

Recently, when running g self-upgrade I get the following error:

/home/[username]/go/bin/g: 748: /home/[username]/go/bin/g: tmp: parameter not set

Content of my .bashrc:

[...]
export GOPATH="$HOME/go"; export GOROOT="$HOME/.go"; export PATH="$GOPATH/bin:$PATH"; # g-install: do NOT edit, see https://github.com/stefanmaric/g

Is there anything I can add to help debugging this?

I am unable to reach git.io. The download links may have to be changed

[~]$ command -v g
alias g=git

// Conflict with git plugin alias in zsh

When installing this using a script it would be nice to be able to do the following:

wget -O g-install.sh https://git.io/g-install
sudo chmod ug+x g-install.sh
yes | ./g-install.sh

The yes command prints out "y" to the input stream of the command it is piped to. This is to prevent having to manually type "y" whilst installing g and the latest version of Go.

The yes command works with most other scripts, including the installer for n (Node version manager).

Hi @stefanmaric, go to the masses, add brew! :)

brew install g

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install with command: curl -sSL https://git.io/g-install | sh -s
2. Install go: g install 1.22.1

Error output

gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Environment

Windows MSYS2 zsh

Additional context

Sorry, I opened a PR without reading the contributing guidelines.

I'm proposing to support using go env as fallback for explicitly setting GOPATH and GOROOT. Go will read those values from a config file, e.g. ~/.config/go/env`, and thus setting them in the environment is not required.

Even though README says that default values are:

GOROOT: $HOME/.go
GOPATH: $HOME/go

Upon g installation, the GOPATH variable in my config.fish is set to $HOME/.go, which then mess up everything, because upon installation of any version the g binary is removed. Not sure if it is only Fish specific or affects also other shells.

When I have corrected manually this error, everything worked as expected.

Hey there,

you are listing various g alternatives but you are missing goenv. Do you mind adding it?
