📚 gothanks - Awesome Go Library for Go Tools
GoThanks automatically stars your go.mod github dependencies, sending this way some love to their maintainers.
Detailed Description of gothanks
Give thanks (in the form of a GitHub ★) to your fellow Go modules maintainers.
About
GoThanks performs the following operations
- Sends a star to Go's repo (github.com/golang.go)
- Reads your go.mod file and sends a star to every Github repository that your app/library depends on
This is a simple way to say thanks to the maintainers of the modules you use and the contributors of Go itself.
Credits
GoThanks is a Go port of symfony/thanks implemented by Nicolas Grekas (nicolas-grekas) for PHP.
Original idea by Doug Tangren (softprops) for Rust.
