# gon

Fast and simple version manager for the [Go](https://go.dev) compiler, written in Go, inspired from [nvm](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm).

## Installation

### Scoop (windows)

```

 $ scoop install https://github.com/Yakiyo/gon/raw/main/share/scoop/gon.json

 ```

### Brew

Theres a brew formula at [share/brew](./share/brew/gon.rb)

*More installation methods TBA*

## Setup

For using the Go compiler installed by gon, you need to add the downloaded path to your `PATH` environment variable. This can be manually added to the sys path/user path, or be automated in your shell's init script.

For example, in case of bash, add the following line to your `~/.bashrc`

```sh

export PATH="$(gon path bin)":$PATH

```

This works the same for zsh too.

For powershell, the following can be added to `profile.ps1`

```powershell

$Dir = gon path bin

$User = [System.EnvironmentVariableTarget]::User

$Path = [System.Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('Path', $User)

if (!(";${Path};".ToLower() -like "*;${Dir};*".ToLower())) {

  [System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('Path', "${Path};${InstallDir}", $User)

  $Env:Path += ";${Dir}"

}

```

## Usage

For installing a specific version, use the `gon install` command.

```sh

$ gon install latest # install latest Go version

$ gon install v1.20 # install specific version, the `v` suffix is optional

$ gon install # install the version mentioned in `./go.mod`

```

For uninstalling, the specific version must be mentioned

```sh

$ gon uninstall 1.20

```

Aliases can be added and removed via the `gon alias` and `gon unalias` commands.

For using an installed version, run 

```sh

$ gon use v1.20 # use specific version

$ gon use # use version mentioned in `./go.mod`

```

The name gon comes from the character [Gon Freecss](https://anilist.co/character/30/Gon-Freecss) from [Hunter X Hunter](https://anilist.co/anime/11061/Hunter-x-Hunter-2011/)
