Go tool to find and support awesome sponsorable Go packages!

go-support

Go program for finding and supporting sponsorable awesome Go packages in your project's module dependencies (go.mod). Let's support all the Go developers and make the Go ecosystem a better place!

Installation

1. Make sure Go 1.12 or above (that comes with the module support) is installed in your machine.
2. Get the program using go get github.com/joshuabezaleel/go-support.
3. Add GitHub token by using the command export GITHUB_TOKEN="<your_token>" available at this link to authenticate the request and pass the API rate limit.
4. Run go-support in the root of your project modules.
5. Open the URLs in the browser and make donations!

How it works

• All of the modules and dependencies are retrieved from your project's go.mod file.
• Modules and dependencies that will be processed are the one hosted at GitHub (github.com).
• The modules are then grouped by author according to the first (1st) GitHub Sponsors-enabled username at the repository's .github/FUNDING.yml.
• If no GitHub Sponsors page found at a module, the author name will be parsed from the repository's name.
• All of the funding platforms will be retrieved from each of the repository's .github/FUNDING.yml
• URLs that will be opened in the browser are the GitHub authors page stated in the previous point.

Prior Art

Query GitHub for sponsorship links

Great to see someone taking the initiative on this project!

Have you considered simply querying GitHub to see if the "Sponsor" link is on that repo? Then you don't have to maintain a list. (At least, for GitHub-enabled sponsorships. Which will probably quickly grow to be most of them.)
