Installation

Get started quickly with stdsym:

go install github.com/lotusirous/gostdsym/stdsym@latest

Create a handy gdoc alias for instant symbol lookups:

alias gdoc="stdsym |fzf | xargs go doc "

If you want to view the results on pkg.go.dev, use this alias. This example is for macOS, where the open command opens the link in the default browser:

alias gdocb="stdsym -web| fzf | awk '{print \"https://pkg.go.dev/\" \$1}' | xargs open"
