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.



# Installation



```go

$ go get -u github.com/psampaz/gothanks

```



# Usage



In order to run GoThanks you need to have a valid [Github Access Token](https://help.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/creating-a-personal-access-token-for-the-command-line) with `public_repo` scope. 



You can pass the token as an argument to GoThanks or store it in an environmental variable named GITHUB_TOKEN.



Inside the folder where your go.mod lives run:



```go

$ ./gothanks -github-token=xxxxxx

```



or 



```go

$ export GITHUB_TOKEN=xxxxx

$ ./gothanks

```

## Docker



Run



```

docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd):/home psampaz/gothanks:latest -github-token=xxxxxx

```



or 



```

docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd):/home --env GITHUB_TOKEN=xxxxxx psampaz/gothanks:latest

```



# Example



```go

$ ./gothanks
