Goblin is a web application that serves as a Go binary distribution service, allowing users to download and install Go binaries without having Go installed locally. The application consists of a Go-based HTTP server that resolves package versions from the Go proxy and GitHub, compiles binaries for requested OS/architecture combinations, and serves them to users. It includes a web frontend for documentation and usage examples, Docker configuration for easy deployment, and optional caching via S3-compatible storage. The architecture follows a standard web service pattern with clear separation between API handling, version resolution, binary building, and storage layers.
This repository is a curated collection of recipes and tools for Go development, organized into categories such as testing, dependencies, code visualization, code generation, refactoring, errors, build, assembly, deployment, execution, monitoring, benchmarking, documentation, security, static analysis, and guides. The actual codebase is minimal: a Go module with a three-line main.go that generates the README.md from a structured YAML file (page.yaml) using the mdpage library. The primary value is the content itself, which serves as a reference for Go developers to discover and utilize various tools and techniques. The project is actively maintained, with up-to-date dependencies and a simple CI workflow for markdown link validation.
