codesee-deps-go

A command line tool that gives you a list of all usages between files within a project, while ignoring external dependencies.

This is used by the codesee CLI to generate accurate data for Golang projects.

Currently, this utility only works on projects that use Go modules.

Usage

codesee-deps-go <directory>

This will output a JSON array of objects with from and to keys. For example:

[
  {
    "from": "cmd/api/main.go",
    "to": "pkg/server/server.go"
  },
  {
    "from": "cmd/api/main.go",
    "to": "pkg/signals/signals.go"
  },
  {
    "from": "pkg/server/server.go",
    "to": "pkg/handlers/handlers.go"
  },
  {
    "from": "pkg/signals/signals_test.go",
    "to": "pkg/signals/signals.go"
  }
]

Development

Building

make build

Testing

make test

Running Locally

go run ./cmd/deps <directory>

You can either use this project, the test simple-repo project, or any other Go project that you have for testing purposes.

go run ./cmd/deps .
go run ./cmd/deps ./pkg/testdata/simple-repo
go run /path/to/other/project

Releasing

To make a new release, you need to have a GitHub token with repo permissions. You can generate one here. Once you have it, you just need to run the following command:

GITHUB_TOKEN=<github_token> TAG=<new_tag> make release
# e.g.
GITHUB_TOKEN=TOKEN TAG=v1.0.0 make release

This does the following:

• Changes the version number in the README.md
• Commits the change with the TAG as the commit message
• Creates a tag with the specified TAG
• Pushes the commit and tag to GitHub
• Runs goreleaser to generate the binaries and uploads them to GitHub as a new release
