go-binary-version-manager (gbvm)
Version manager of libraries which installed via go install command.
Motivation
The projects I worked on used different versions of the golangci-lint and mockery libraries. When I use their
commands, inconsistent, strange errors occur.
I am aiming to solve this problem by writing a basic binary manager that uses symlink under the hood.
This project is not specific to golangci-lint, mockery. You can use any library you want. The condition is the library
must be installed via go install command.
Note: Executable binaries must be within ($GOPATH/go/bin) before using gbvm.
For example, if you installed golangci-lint via homebrew, you need to delete it first.
You should install with gbvm install command. Please check demo.
