It generates starter Go backend project structures through an interactive command-line interface and is best understood as a niche convenience tool for new Go services rather than a broad framework. ### Project history The vg006/vgo repository was created on 2024-12-25. Its README describes the project as the author's first open-source contribution and presents the initial version as a tool intended to save time, keep project structure consistent, and improve development efficiency for Go projects. A Reddit post by the author in the Go community shortly after the repository's creation described vgo as a simple project scaffolding tool for Go backend projects and framed it as part of the author's entry into open-source contribution. ### Adoption history Public adoption evidence is limited. The project has Homebrew packaging and GitHub release tags, but available sources do not show broad ecosystem integration, notable downstream users, or a mature plugin/template community. ### How it is used vgo is used at the beginning of a Go project to generate a starting structure through CLI prompts and built-in options. Its niche is avoiding repetitive setup for common backend project layouts. ### Why package nerds care The package is mostly significant as an example of a small, single-purpose Go CLI that reached Homebrew packaging quickly after creation. It does not appear to have the historical weight of the older Go tool named vgo that preceded Go modules; this package is a separate scaffolder under vg006/vgo. ### Timeline - 2024-12-25: vg006/vgo was created on GitHub. - 2025-01: GitHub releases show early v0.1.x tags. - 2026-01: vgo v0.3.0 was published on GitHub. ### Sources - - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** vgo - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [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/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [go-blueprint](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go-blueprint/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, go, project-scaffolding. - [cruft](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cruft/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, project-scaffolding. - [kickstart](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/kickstart/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, project-scaffolding. - [chroma](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/chroma/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, go. - [cobra-cli](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cobra-cli/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, generator, go. - [cookiecutter](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cookiecutter/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, project-scaffolding. - [copier](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/copier/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, project-scaffolding. - [delve](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/delve/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, go. - [bed](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/bed/) - Both packages touch the same language runtime or ecosystem.
