  • mockery

    A mock code autogenerator for Go (by vektra)

  • There are some one liner changes you can implement in https://github.com/vektra/mockery

  • sockv5er

    Tool to create ssh tunnels on demand using the free tier ec2 instances from AWS from any given region

  • I had developed this tool (sockv5er) using which you can keep your internet traffic encrypted. It uses free AWS EC2 instances from your personal AWS account, so you don't have to pay. It will create the EC2 instances and delete it for you as well. I haven't been able to work on it for last few weeks. If you are interested in contributing, do let me know.

  • atomika

  • d2

    D2 is a modern diagram scripting language that turns text to diagrams.

  • You're welcome in D2! I maintain a Text to diagram language, released a few months ago, 13k+ stars, I'm actively tagging issues that are good first issues, clean well-tested Go, and I'm happy to help you get that first merge in. Feel free to chime in on any issue that looks interesting! https://github.com/terrastruct/d2

  • nevermind

    a node version manager

  • If you’re familiar with node javascript or windows machines I’d appreciate some input in a node version manager I was making: https://github.com/bozdoz/nevermind

  • Rudderstack

    Privacy and Security focused Segment-alternative, in Golang and React

  • Check out RudderStack, a Go project to build data pipeline. Our slack is quite active. The best way to contribute is by creating a new integration with your favorite tool. You do not need to rely to too much on existing knowledge about inner workings of the project to do so, so it is beginner friendly.

  • fyne

    Cross platform GUI toolkit in Go inspired by Material Design

  • If you are interested in building applications then Fyne is an active and welcoming project - https://fyne.io

  • Tyk

    Tyk Open Source API Gateway written in Go, supporting REST, GraphQL, TCP and gRPC protocols

  • We're a friendly bunch at https://github.com/TykTechnologies/tyk - I'll gladly pick up onboarding contributors for some meaningful tasks, if you'd like to ease into it. Lots of tech debt to address, so it's more maintenance work, testing, introducing DDD, etc.
