Hellogopher is a drop-in Makefile that lets anyone clone and build a conventional Go project with just `make`, without needing to understand GOPATH first. It handles vendoring, testing, and coverage targets out of the box.

Use cases

  • build a go project with just make
  • let non-go developers compile a go repository
  • avoid gopath setup for novice go users
  • vendor go dependencies in a project
  • run go tests and coverage via make

When to choose

  • your project should build anywhere with a single make command
  • your audience includes non-go developers or casual contributors
  • you want a simple vendoring-based go build setup

When to avoid

  • your project uses modern go modules
  • you need a full-featured build or dependency management system
  • your workflow depends on editor tooling requiring gopath placement
