gosearch: The awesome package explorer for Golang
gosearch turns the awesome-go into a
CLI command that you can search for packages offline easily.
Why this?
I've back to coding Golang after a long time off. I want to install glide, logrus... and all the awesome packages, but I don't remember its full package import path, how to not Google?
Go ships with the good go get to install package, but not a way to search for packages.
Inspired by Python pip.
