# toolmgr
`toolmgr` helps you manage go tools using a
[tools.go](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules#how-can-i-track-tool-dependencies-for-a-module)
file.
## Usage
Create a `tools.go` file with at least the following content:
```go
//+build tools
package tools
import (
_ "github.com/fhofherr/toolmgr"
)
```
Add imports for the used tools to the above files as required. Then make
sure to install `toolmgr`:
```sh
export GOBIN="$PWD/bin"
go mod tidy
go install github.com/fhofherr/toolmgr
"$PWD"/bin/toolmgr -bin-dir "$PWD/bin"
```
Whenever you add new tools to `tools.go` be sure to re-execute the above
steps.
### Makefile targets
In many cases it is convenient to use a `Makefile` to make the above
easier. Simply add the following targets to your `Makefile`.
```Makefile
GO ?= go
## Change this to your liking:
TOOLS_BIN_DIR ?= bin
TOOLS_GO := tools.go
.PHONY: tools
tools: $(TOOLS_BIN_DIR)
## Dummy target to allow depending on all tools
$(TOOLS_BIN_DIR): $(TOOLS_BIN_DIR)/toolmgr
$(TOOLS_BIN_DIR)/%: $(TOOLS_GO)
GOBIN=$(abspath ./$(TOOLS_BIN_DIR)) $(GO) install github.com/fhofherr/toolmgr
$(TOOLS_BIN_DIR)/toolmgr -bin-dir $(TOOLS_BIN_DIR) -tools-go $(TOOLS_GO)
```
Whenever one of your other `Makefile` targets depends on one or more
tools you can either depend on the `$(TOOLS_BIN_DIR)` target or on
`$(TOOTOOLS_BIN_DIR)/`.
