gosh - Run powershell and bash commands easly in go.

GitHub logo abdfnx / gosh

⌨ A golang library for executing bash & powershell commands easly.

Run powershell and bash commands easly in go.

Examples

Run one command on both shell and powershell

import "github.com/abdfnx/gosh"

// run a command
gosh.Run("git status")

// run a command with output
err, out, errout := gosh.RunOut("whoami")

if err != nil {
  log.Printf("error: %v\n", err)
  fmt.Print(errout)
}

fmt.Print(out)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

How gosh.Run("COMMAND") works ?

// `Run` executes the same command for shell and powershell
func Run(cmd string) {
    err, out, errout := ShellOutput("")

    if runtime.GOOS == "windows" {
        err, out, errout = PowershellOutput(cmd)
    } else {
        err, out, errout = ShellOutput(cmd)
    }

    if err != nil {
        log.Printf("error: %v\n", err)
        fmt.Print(errout)
    }

    fmt.Print(out)
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Powershell

import "github.com/abdfnx/gosh"

// run a command
gosh.PowershellCommand(`Write-Host "hello from powershell"`)

// run a script
gosh.PowershellCommand(`
  $git_username = git config user.name

  Write-Host $git_username
`)

// run a command with output
err, out, errout := gosh.PowerShelloutput(`[System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("Path", $Env:Path + ";$APP_PATH\bin", [System.EnvironmentVariableTarget]::User)`)

if err != nil {
  log.Printf("error: %v\n", err)
  fmt.Print(errout)
}

fmt.Print(out)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Bash/Shell

import "github.com/abdfnx/gosh"

// run a command
gosh.ShellCommand(`echo "shell or bash?"`)

// run a script
gosh.ShellCommand(`
  mood="👨‍💻"

  if [ $mood != "😪" ]; then
    echo "still coding"
  fi
`)

// run a command with output
err, out, errout := gosh.Shelloutput(`curl --silent "https://api.github.com/repos/abdfnx/resto/releases/latest" | grep '"tag_name":' | sed -E 's/.*"([^"]+)".*/\1/'`)

if err != nil {
  log.Printf("error: %v\n", err)
  fmt.Print(errout)
}

fmt.Print(out)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
