go-gather

go-gather

go-gather is a library for Go (golang) for downloading ("gathering") from various sources. These sources include:

• filepaths
• git
• http
• oci

go-gather simplifies the process of gathering from these sources by freeing the implementer from having to be concerned about the details of the sources.

go-gather is based heavily on go-getter, but designed for specific requirements by the ec-cli project.

Installation and Use

Installation can be done with a normal go get:

$ go get github.com/conforma/go-gather

Security

All efforts are made to ensure security, but gathering resources from user provided sources has an intrensic amount of danger. go-gather attempts to mitigate some of these issues but the user should still use caution in security-critical contexts.
