Repository Details

GoThanks automatically stars Go's official repository and your go.mod github dependencies, providing a simple way to say thanks to the maintainers of the modules you use and the contributors of Go itself.

Build Status Go Report Card GoDoc

Give thanks (in the form of a GitHub โ˜…) to your fellow Go modules maintainers.

About

GoThanks performs the following operations

  • Sends a star to Go's repo (github.com/golang.go)
  • Reads your go.mod file and sends a star to every Github repository that your app/library depends on

This is a simple way to say thanks to the maintainers of the modules you use and the contributors of Go itself.

Credits

GoThanks is a Go port of symfony/thanks implemented by Nicolas Grekas (nicolas-grekas) for PHP.

Original idea by Doug Tangren (softprops) for Rust.
