# mkegg

`mkegg` is a really simple tool to embed arbitrary data into Go executable

files. It's to be used together with the `//go:generate` statement in Go source

files.

There are similar tools but this one is much simpler and only solves my

immediate needs. There is no registry of assets. Instead an exported function is

provided per asset that returns a `bytes.Reader` interface to read its data.

## Installation

    go install

## Usage

See `internal/eggs/...` for how to embed data and `mkegg_test.go` for how to

access it. Run `go generate ./...` once `mkegg` has been installed to update

source files with embedded data.
