Choosing the right dependencies is more of an art than a science. People usually apply different heuristics, like checking github star counts, commit frequency, issue counts, number of contributors, etc. After one of these discussion why i have chosen library A instead of B or C i came to an idea that is presented here.

Luckily most of the golang dependencies (libraries, frameworks) are open-source and located in one place, github.com. Golang's package import convention tells us how to actually find the source code of the dependencies, so we can check easily the dependency graph of go packages. If we wanna compare packages we could check which packages are used by more "important" packages/projects that sounds similar to idea od PageRank how importance of web pages can be computed. Even more we have additional useful information put together manually by the members of the community for example the star counts on a repo which could be used as weight in the computation.

grank.io is showing a rank list based on this weighted PageRank value of github repos and for each analysed repositories, packages it shows the packages that are dependent on it or it depends on. The source code is available on github.

TL;DR: Just import github.com/carlmjohnson/versioninfo and use versioninfo.Revision to automatically include a Git hash in your Go application.

Curious how it works? Want to make your own version info package? Read on.

The problem: Go's net/http is powerful and versatile, but using it correctly for client requests can be extremely verbose.

The solution: The requests.Builder type is a convenient way to build, send, and handle HTTP requests. Builder has a fluent API with methods returning a pointer to the same struct, which allows for declaratively describing a request by method chaining.

Requests also comes with tools for building custom http transports, include a request recorder and replayer for testing.

Starting in Go 1.21, the Go distribution consists of a go command and a bundled Go toolchain, which is the standard library as well as the compiler, assembler, and other tools. The go command can use its bundled Go toolchain as well as other versions that it finds in the local PATH or downloads as needed.

Optimized Go Compression Packages

'go test' runner with output optimized for humans, JUnit XML for CI integration, and a summary of the test results.

This repo contains Golang code that does not follow best practises, contains bugs and security issues. It is intended to be used as an interview exercise or a practise exercise for jr/mid-level Go engineers.

Rapid is a Go library for property-based testing.

Rapid checks that properties you define hold for a large number of automatically generated test cases. If a failure is found, rapid automatically minimizes the failing test case before presenting it.
