go-support

go-support

Go program for finding and supporting sponsorable awesome Go packages in your project's module dependencies (go.mod). Let's support all the Go developers and make the Go ecosystem a better place!

Installation

1. Make sure Go 1.12 or above (that comes with the module support) is installed in your machine.
2. Get the program using go get github.com/joshuabezaleel/go-support.
3. Add GitHub token by using the command export GITHUB_TOKEN="<your_token>" available at this link to authenticate the request and pass the API rate limit.
4. Run go-support in the root of your project modules.
5. Open the URLs in the browser and make donations!

How it works

• All of the modules and dependencies are retrieved from your project's go.mod file.
• Modules and dependencies that will be processed are the one hosted at GitHub (github.com).
• The modules are then grouped by author according to the first (1st) GitHub Sponsors-enabled username at the repository's .github/FUNDING.yml.
• If no GitHub Sponsors page found at a module, the author name will be parsed from the repository's name.
• All of the funding platforms will be retrieved from each of the repository's .github/FUNDING.yml
• URLs that will be opened in the browser are the GitHub authors page stated in the previous point.
