Top 23 Go Utility Projects

• fzf

  407 59,920 9.6 Go

  :cherry_blossom: A command-line fuzzy finder

Project mention: Ask HN: Any tool for managing large and variable command lines? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-25

In addition, I think bash's `operate-and-get-next` can be very helpful. When you go back through your shell history, you can hit Ctrl+o instead of enter and it will execute the command then put the next one in your history on the command line, and keep track of where you are in your history. This way, you can rerun a bunch of commands by going to the first one and Ctrl+o till you are done. And you can edit those commands and hit Ctrl+o and still go to the next previously run command.

Note: fzf's history search feature breaks this. https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/issues/2399

Project mention: The worst thing about Jenkins is that it works | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-03

At a recent job, we had slightly different containers for local dev; our backend containers (for a Go app) had Air [1] installed for live reloading, plus Delve [2] running inside the container for VS Code's debugger to connect to. We also had a frontend container for local dev, which didn't get deployed as a container, just as static files.

• excelize

  15 17,311 8.8 Go

  Go language library for reading and writing Microsoft Excel™ (XLAM / XLSM / XLSX / XLTM / XLTX) spreadsheets

  

Project mention: Recommend a powerful excel processing library, @zurmokeeper/exceljs, which supports encryption and decryption of xlsx files and flexible setting of multiple table headers when exporting, etc. | /r/node | 2023-07-01

Then I found out that WPS only supports ecma376 standard encrytion for xlsx files. Then I referred to the official documentation and libraries in other languages, such as msoffcrypto-tool written in python. msoffcrypto-tool) and go's excelize. Since I don't know much about encryption and decryption, the process of implementation is also a bit of a twist.

• ctop

  37 15,167 0.0 Go

  Top-like interface for container metrics

Project mention: Lazydocker | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-07-18

This does remind me of ctop as well: https://github.com/bcicen/ctop

It also let's you look at containers, resource usage graphs, their logs and even do some actions through a TUI.

• GJSON

  34 13,636 5.1 Go

  Get JSON values quickly - JSON parser for Go

Project mention: Rob Pike: Gobs of data (2011) | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-04

Someone made a benchmark of serialization libraries in go [1], and I was surprised to see gobs is one of the slowest ones, specially for decoding. I suspect part of the reason is that the API doesn't not allow reusing decoders [2]. From my explorations it seems like both JSON [3], message-pack [4] and CBOR [5] are better alternatives.

By the way, in Go there are a like a million JSON encoders because a lot of things in the std library are not really coded for maximum performance but more for easy of usage, it seems. Perhaps this is the right balance for certain things (ex: the http library, see [6]).

There are also a bunch of libraries that allow you to modify a JSON file "in place", without having to fully deserialize into structs (ex: GJSON/SJSON [7] [8]). This sounds very convenient and more efficient that fully de/serializing if we just need to change the data a little.

• kopia

  224 6,354 9.6 Go

Project mention: DwarFS – The Deduplicating Warp-Speed Advanced Read-Only File System | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-11

I think Kopia would be great for your use case

https://kopia.io/

It has a great system to snapshot files but only store data if it's changed. I use it in an environment where I can't use something like zfs to snapshot data because I don't have the ability to make decisions about what filesystem we're using. It's been amazing, love it so much!
