go-sh

for the better grow of this package. some change may influence the old users, the old-code has tag: v0.1

install: go get github.com/codeskyblue/go-sh

Pipe Example:

package main

import "github.com/codeskyblue/go-sh"

func main() {
	sh.Command("echo", "hello\tworld").Command("cut", "-f2").Run()
}

I like os/exec, so this golang package go-sh, is very like os/exec. But it really have some better experience than os/exec.

There are some features, listed bellow.

• keep the variable environment (like export)
• alias support (like alias in shell)
• remember current dir
• pipe command
• shell build-in command test
• timeout support

Example is always important. I will show you how to use it.

sh: echo hello
go: sh.Command("echo", "hello").Run()

sh: export BUILD_ID=123
go: s = sh.NewSession().SetEnv("BUILD_ID", "123")

sh: alias ll='ls -l'
go: s = sh.NewSession().Alias('ll', 'ls', '-l')

sh: (cd /; pwd)
go: sh.Command("pwd", sh.Dir("/")).Run()

sh: test -d data || mkdir data
go: if ! sh.Test("dir", "data") { sh.Command("mkdir", "data").Run() }

sh: echo hello world | awk '{print $1}'
go: sh.Command("echo", "hello", "world").Command("awk", "{print $1}").Run()

sh: msg=$(echo hi)
go: msg, err := sh.Command("echo", "hi").Output()

sh(in ubuntu): timeout 1s sleep 3
go: c := sh.Command("sleep", "3"); c.Start(); c.WaitTimeout(time.Seocnd) # default SIGKILL
go: out, err := sh.Command("sleep", "3").SetTimeout(time.Second).Output() # set session timeout and get output)

If you need to keep env and dir, it is better to create a session

session := sh.NewSession()
session.SetEnv("BUILD_ID", "123")
session.SetDir("/")
# then call cmd
session.Command("echo", "hello").Run()
# set ShowCMD to true for easily debug
session.ShowCmd = true

for more information, it better to see docs.

the reason to use golang shell

So what is go-sh. Sometimes we need to write some shell scripts, but shell scripts is not good at cross platform, but golang is good at that. Is there a good way to use golang to write scripts like shell? Use go-sh we can do it now.
