Package goredirect enables you to redirect go get to map from one set of repository URLs to another. You can use it to create a standalone server or wrap an existing one.

For a quick demo:

go install github.com/beyang/go-get-redirect/...
sudo sh -c 'echo "127.0.0.1 right.here" >> /etc/hosts'
sudo goredirect`
go get right.here/beyang/go-get-redirect

Observe that $GOPATH/src/right.here/beyang/go-get-redirect now holds identical contents to $GOPATH/src/github.com/beyang/go-get-redirect.

For usage examples, look at cmd/goredirect/cmd.go and the more extensive test cases in goredirect_test.go.

• go get assumes all hostnames have at least one . in them, so go get localhost/repo/path will not work. In the dev environment, you can get around this by adding a dummy host (e.g., right.here) to /etc/hosts.

• For development purposes, you can pass a custom port number with the --port flag, but go get assumes the server listens on port 80 (or 443 for HTTPS).
