Story: Writing Scripts with Go

Story: Writing Scripts with Go

This is a story about how I tried to use Go for scripting. In this story, I’ll discuss the need for a Go script, how we would expect it to behave and the possible implementations; During the discussion I’ll deep dive to scripts, shells, and shebangs. Finally, we’ll discuss solutions that will make Go scripts work.

Why Go is good for scripting?

While python and bash are popular scripting languages, C, C++ and Java are not used for scripts at all, and some languages are somewhere in between.

Tar usage / Tar Cheat Sheet

Tar Usage / Cheat Sheet

Compress a file or directory

e.g: tar -czvf name-of-archive.tar.gz /path/to/directory-or-file

  • -c: Create an archive.
  • -z: Compress the archive with gzip.
  • -v: makes tar talk a lot. Verbose output shows you all the files being archived and much.
  • -f: Allows you to specify the filename of the archive.

Golang: deepcopy map[string]interface{}. Could be used for any other Go type with minor modifications.
// Package deepcopy provides a function for deep copying map[string]interface{}
// values. Inspired by the StackOverflow answer at:
// http://stackoverflow.com/a/28579297/1366283
//
// Uses the golang.org/pkg/encoding/gob package to do this and therefore has the
// same caveats.
// See: https://blog.golang.org/gobs-of-data
