在“可获取”包中选择其他可执行文件名称

Question

Is it possible to have a cli-package (package main) which is "go-getable", but the binary is installed under a different name?

For example to have a repository github.com/exaring/foo-cli

But go get github.com/foo/foo-cli would install a binary called foo (not foo-cli)?

The point is to have an expressive repository name but a short and easy to type executable.

Answer 1

If you're fine with the user running go build instead of go get, you can do this:

go build -o foo github.com/foo/foo-cli

Otherwise, you can keep all the CLI code in foo-cli and put the main function in foo.
