List of available commands

Create a new project

To create a new project, you can use this command :

gopm init

You can type the different information asking by the CLI. You could see default values for each information between parenthesis. This command will create a new folder with these information :

<your-project-name>/
├── LICENSE.txt # This file contains the LICENSE information of your project
├── gopm.json # JSON file used to manage your project
├── go.mod # Module file for Go dependencies
├── go.sum # Checksum file for Go dependencies
└── <your-entry-file>.go # Entry point of your project

Install new dependency

To install a new dependency and add it in your Go project, use this command :

gopm i name-of-your-dependecy
# or
gopm install name-of-your-dependency

Install all dependencies

gopm install
# or
gopm i

Show current version of CLI

gopm -v

Use custom commands

If you want to use custom commands with this CLI, you can add these directly in the gopm.json file in the scripts section. When a project is created, few default commands are directly created.
