Play-Go

This is a small utility for creating scratchpad Go modules. When you need a quick Go module to test something out, but you would rather use your own local development environment instead of the Go Playground, Play-Go can help!

Installation

Because of the nature of this tool, we'll assume that you have Go installed and available on your $PATH. As such, the best installation method is:

go install github.com/nwchandler/playgo/cmd/playgo@latest

Usage

Using Play-Go is (hopefully!) simple. If you run the command playgo, you should get directory called scratches/<some-silly-name> created in one of the following locations (in order):

1. If you have $XDG_DATA_HOME set, $XDG_DATA_HOME/scratches will be used.
2. If you have a home directory set (for example, $HOME on Unix/Linux/Darwin systems or $USERPROFILE or %userprofile% on Windows), then <home>/.local/share/scratches will be used.
3. If neither of those are set, then the scratches directory will be put into whatever your current working directory is.

Note: Play-Go requires that you have Go installed and available on your $PATH.
