It packages a set of common application skeleton choices into an interactive or flag-driven `go-blueprint create` workflow. ### Project history The GitHub repository was created in 2023 by Melkeydev. Its README presents the project as a way to spin up Go applications with an established structure and optional framework integration, while the documentation site provides installation and usage guidance. ### Adoption history Go-Blueprint gained visibility in the Go tooling ecosystem by targeting the recurring question of how to start a Go web service without arguing over layout from scratch. Its distribution through Go install, npm, Homebrew, and Nix made it reachable from several developer-tooling habits rather than only from the Go module toolchain. ### How it is used Practitioners use the CLI either interactively with `go-blueprint create` or non-interactively with flags for project name, framework, database driver, Git initialization, and optional advanced features. The README documents supported HTTP frameworks such as Chi, Gin, Fiber, Echo, Gorilla/mux, and HttpRouter, database drivers such as Postgres, MySQL, SQLite, Mongo, Redis, and ScyllaDB GoCQL, and optional additions such as HTMX, GitHub Actions, Docker, WebSocket support, Tailwind, and React. ### Why package nerds care For package catalogs, Go-Blueprint is a compact example of a language-specific scaffolder distributed outside the language's own package installer. The same CLI is exposed through Go, npm, Homebrew, and Nix pathways, which reflects how template generators often cross packaging boundaries. ### Timeline - 2023: The GitHub repository was created. - 2023: v0.2.x releases began appearing on GitHub. - 2025: v0.10.x releases documented continued template and feature work. ### Related projects - Chi - Gin - Fiber - Echo - Gorilla/mux - HttpRouter ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. - **Geiger risk:** blue / medium - broad file, network, media, or database tool signal ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** go-blueprint - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Nix - go-blueprint: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/go/go-blueprint/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Related links - [Secret-risk packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/secret-risk-packages/) - Has protected-tool coverage, approval-gate, or non-low Geiger security signals. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [go](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [cruft](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cruft/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, project-scaffolding, templates. - [go-bindata](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go-bindata/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, code-generation, developer-tools, go. - [gomodifytags](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gomodifytags/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, code-generation, developer-tools, go. - [protoc-gen-go](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/protoc-gen-go/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, code-generation, developer-tools, go. - [vgo](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/vgo/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, go, project-scaffolding. - [cookiecutter](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cookiecutter/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, project-scaffolding, templates. - [copier](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/copier/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, project-scaffolding, templates. - [gci](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gci/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, go. - [go-critic](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go-critic/) - Both packages touch the same language runtime or ecosystem.
