AndroidLibXrayLite
Lightweight Android library that bundles the Xray networking core
AndroidLibXrayLite is a lightweight Android library that bundles the Xray networking core as an embeddable component for apps. Its purpose is to provide a minimal, size-optimized build of the native core with a clear Java/Kotlin interface to start, stop, and configure network tunnels. By exposing the core as an AAR with per-ABI artifacts, it keeps application footprints small while supporting common CPU architectures. The library abstracts process management and log streaming so host apps can control lifecycles and capture diagnostics. It’s particularly useful for developers who want to integrate secure, rule-based proxying into their own Android apps without re-implementing the native glue. With a focus on stability and easy updates, it shortens the path from concept to a working in-app networking stack. -

age
A simple, modern and secure encryption tool (and Go library)
age is a security-oriented tool and library by Filo Sottile. age is a simple, modern, secure encryption utility (and Go library) that emphasizes minimal configuration and strong defaults. It provides small explicit keys, no complex options, and is designed for UNIX-style composability; you can pipe into it, integrate it into scripts, etc. It supports a clearly defined format and promotes interoperability across implementations (there are Rust, TypeScript, etc). The project is well-suited for personal data encryption, backup use-cases, scripting encryption workflows, and embedding encryption in tools. Because of its design philosophy, it avoids the bloat of many older encryption utilities while maintaining strong cryptographic hygiene. It’s especially useful for developers or system administrators who want to adopt encryption without learning a multitude of options. -

Go Container Registry
Go library and CLIs for working with container registries
go-containerregistry is a Go library (with companion tools) for interacting with container images and registries using OCI/Docker formats. It provides primitives to read, write, mutate, sign, and copy images and indexes across registries without shelling out to Docker. High-level utilities like crane and gcrane offer convenient CLIs for everyday tasks—listing tags, copying images between registries, flattening, creating tarballs, and more. The library handles authentication via a pluggable keychain system that understands Docker config files, credential helpers, and environment credentials. It understands multiple on-disk layouts (tarball, OCI layout, remote) and lets you transform images in memory by adding or rebasing layers, adjusting config, and annotating manifests. Because everything is regular Go code, it’s straightforward to embed in CI/CD systems, policy engines, and bespoke supply-chain tooling. -

google-hosts
Google hosts generator
Google Hosts is a collection of shell tools for finding Google IP addresses and generating hosts-file entries. It can inspect an IP to retrieve details such as packet loss, ping time, and SSL domain information. A CIDR range can be scanned to discover candidate addresses, then filtered for specific Google domains. Selected addresses can be assigned to domains and written into an aggregated hosts configuration. An automated script can discover a CIDR from a DNS server and run the search, selection, and apply workflow. The project also includes a dnsmasq configuration for users who prefer DNS-based mapping. -

AWS Lambda for Go
Libraries, samples and tools to help Go developers develop AWS Lambda
Libraries, samples and tools to help Go developers develop AWS Lambda functions. Libraries, samples, and tools to help Go developers develop AWS Lambda functions. Preparing a binary to deploy to AWS Lambda requires that it is compiled for Linux and placed into a .zip file. Windows developers may have trouble producing a zip file that marks the binary as executable on Linux. To create a .zip that will work on AWS Lambda, the build-lambda-zip tool may be helpful. -

Go Jsonnet
This an implementation of Jsonnet in pure Go
go-jsonnet is a pure Go implementation of the Jsonnet data templating language, which extends JSON with variables, functions, imports, and a standard library so you can generate complex configuration safely. Instead of hand-maintaining massive JSON files, you write concise, reusable templates that evaluate to JSON or YAML, with deterministic semantics and rich error messages. The repository ships both an embeddable VM for Go programs and a command-line interpreter, making it easy to integrate templating into build systems, CLIs, and services. Import paths and custom resolvers let you structure large configuration trees across directories or remote sources, while top-level arguments and external variables parameterize builds per environment. Native functions can be registered from Go to expose domain-specific helpers without forking the language. Tooling such as a formatter and linter-friendly errors encourages clean, consistent templates that scale across teams. -

Printing Press Library
Official library of CLIs generated by the CLI Printing Press
Printing Press Library is the official catalog of command-line tools generated by the CLI Printing Press project. It collects ready-to-install CLIs that are designed for agent-first workflows, automation, and efficient interaction with APIs or websites. The project is built around the idea that well-structured command-line tools can reduce wasted time, reduce token usage, and make AI agents more reliable. Each published tool is self-contained and includes its own source code, local README, provenance manifest, and generated artifacts. The repository organizes the library by categories, making it easier to browse and install tools for different use cases. It is useful for developers, automation builders, and AI agent workflows that need practical, verified command-line interfaces. -

Vegeta
HTTP load testing tool and library. It's over 9000!
Vegeta is a versatile HTTP load testing tool built out of a need to drill HTTP services with a constant request rate. It can be used both as a command line utility and a library. You can install Vegeta using the Homebrew package manager on Mac OS X. Both the library and the CLI are versioned with SemVer v2.0.0. After v8.0.0, the two components are versioned separately to better isolate breaking changes to each. CLI releases are tagged with cli/vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH and published on the Github releases page. As for the library, new versions are tagged with both lib/vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH and vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH. The latter tag is required for compatibility with go mod. The JSON format makes integration with programs that produce targets dynamically easier. Each target is one JSON object in its own line. The method and url fields are required. If present, the body field must be base64 encoded. The generated JSON Schema defines the format in detail. -

Go Meta Linter
Runs a whole bunch of those linters and normalizes their output
Go Meta Linter is a deprecated Go meta-linter that was created to run many Go static analysis tools at the same time. It normalizes their results into one consistent output format so editors, IDEs, and CI systems can read problems more easily. The tool helps developers catch issues such as unused code, unchecked errors, duplicated code, style problems, security concerns, and suspicious compiler-level behavior. It supports a broad collection of linters and lets users customize which checks run for each project. It can also be configured through a JSON file, which makes it easier to share linting rules across a team. Although the project is archived and users are directed toward golangci-lint, it remains a useful example of early Go lint aggregation. -

Go Tools
Various packages and tools that support the Go programming language
This subrepository holds the source for various packages and tools that support the Go programming language. Some of the tools, godoc and vet for example, are included in binary Go distributions. Others, including the Go guru and the test coverage tool, can be fetched with go get. Packages include a type-checker for Go and an implementation of the Static Single Assignment form (SSA) representation for Go programs. This repository uses prettier to format JS and CSS files. The version of prettier used is 1.18.2. It is encouraged that all JS and CSS code be run through this before submitting a change. However, it is not a strict requirement enforced by CI. This repository uses Gerrit for code changes. -

Go gRPC Middleware
Golang gRPC Middlewares: interceptor chaining, auth, logging, retries
gRPC Go has support for "interceptors", i.e. middleware that is executed either on the gRPC Server before the request is passed onto the user's application logic, or on the gRPC client either around the user call. It is a perfect way to implement common patterns: auth, logging, tracing, metrics, validation, retries, rate limiting, and more, which can be great generic building blocks that make it easy to build multiple microservices. Especially for observability signals (logging, tracing, metrics) interceptors offer semi-auto-instrumentation that improves the consistency of your observability and allows great correlation techniques (e.g. exemplars and trace ID in logs). Demo-ed in examples. This repository offers ready-to-use middleware that implements gRPC interceptors with examples. In some cases, dedicated projects offer great interceptors, so this repository skips those, and we link them in the interceptors list. -

M3U8
Parser and generator of M3U8-playlists for Apple HLS. Library for Go
This is the most complete open-source library for parsing and generating of M3U8 playlists used in HTTP Live Streaming (Apple HLS) for internet video translations. M3U8 is a simple text format and parsing library for it must be simple too. It does not offer ways to play HLS or handle playlists over HTTP. -

Traceway
The only tool you need to know what is happening and how to fix it
Traceway is an OpenTelemetry-native observability platform that brings logs, traces, metrics, exceptions, session replay, real user monitoring, and AI tracing into one open-source product. It is designed so teams can point an OTLP exporter at it without adding vendor-specific SDKs or extra collector glue. The platform is aimed at small and growing engineering teams that want practical visibility into what is happening inside their systems and how to fix issues faster. It can be self-hosted or used through a hosted cloud option, giving teams flexibility depending on their infrastructure preferences. Traceway’s value comes from combining multiple observability pillars around shared trace context instead of splitting debugging across many disconnected tools. It is a strong fit for teams that want an MIT-licensed, all-included monitoring stack without open-core restrictions. -

go-chart
go chart is a basic charting library in go
Package chart is a very simple golang native charting library that supports time-series and continuous line charts. Master should now be on the v3.x codebase, which overhauls the api significantly. Per usual, see examples for more information. Actual chart configurations and examples can be found in the ./examples/ directory. They are simple CLI programs that write to output.png (they are also updated with go generate. Everything on the chart.Chart object has defaults that can be overridden. Whenever a developer sets a property on the chart object, it is to be assumed that value will be used instead of the default. The best way to see the api in action is to look at the examples in the ./_examples/ directory. I wanted to make a charting library that used only native golang, that could be stood up on a server (i.e. it had built-in fonts). The goal with the API itself is to have the "zero value be useful", and to require the user to not code more than they absolutely needed. -
19
kafka-go
Kafka library in Go
We rely on both Go and Kafka a lot at Segment. Unfortunately, the state of the Go client libraries for Kafka at the time of this writing was not ideal. sarama, which is by far the most popular but is quite difficult to work with. It is poorly documented, the API exposes low level concepts of the Kafka protocol, and it doesn't support recent Go features like contexts. It also passes all values as pointers which causes large numbers of dynamic memory allocations, more frequent garbage collections, and higher memory usage. confluent-kafka-go is a cgo based wrapper around librdkafka, which means it introduces a dependency to a C library on all Go code that uses the package. It has much better documentation than sarama but still lacks support for Go contexts. goka is a more recent Kafka client for Go which focuses on a specific usage pattern. It provides abstractions for using Kafka as a message passing bus between services rather than an ordered log of events. -

Casbin
An authorization library that supports access control models
An authorization library that supports access control models like ACL, RBAC, ABAC for Golang, Java, C/C++, Node.js, Javascript, PHP, Laravel, Python, .NET (C#), Delphi, Rust, Ruby, Swift (Objective-C), Lua (OpenResty), Dart (Flutter) and Elixir. In Casbin, an access control model is abstracted into a CONF file based on the PERM metamodel (Policy, Effect, Request, Matchers). So switching or upgrading the authorization mechanism for a project is just as simple as modifying a configuration. Besides memory and file, Casbin policy can be stored into lots of places. Currently, dozens of databases are supported, from MySQL, Postgres, Oracle to MongoDB, Redis, Cassandra, AWS S3. Check the full supported list at: adapters. Casbin is implemented in Golang, Java, PHP and Node.js. All implementations share the same API and behaviors. You can learn Casbin once and use it everywhere. In Casbin, the policy storage is implemented as an adapter(aka middleware for Casbin). -

Distribution
The Docker toolset to pack, ship, store, and deliver content
Distribution is a repository that contains the Open Source Docker Registry implementation, which is for the storage and distribution of Docker and OCI images using the OCI Distribution Specification. The goal of this project is to provide a simple, secure yet professional-grade and scalable content distribution system that lets users store, package, manage and exchange content in a reliable and efficient way. It also allows users to hack or roll their own content atop healthy open source components and implement their own solutions. The repository has three main components: the registry, libraries for interacting with distribution components, and the documentation related to the registry. -

Functional programming library golang
functional programming library for golang
This library aims to provide a set of data types and functions that make it easy and fun to write maintainable and testable code in Golang. Write many small, testable, and pure functions, i.e. functions that produce output only depending on their input and that do not execute side effects. Offer helpers to isolate side effects into lazily executed functions (IO). Expose a consistent set of compositions to create new functions from existing ones. For each data type, there exists a small set of composition functions. These functions are called the same across all data types, so you only have to learn a small number of function names. The semantic of functions of the same name is consistent across all data types. -

Go Examples
Go(lang) examples
Now with an online live editor with Golang support. Try out and edit the examples directly in the browser. These examples explain the basics of Golang. There will be more examples from time to time. The examples are divided into three levels of difficulty. The Beginner section contains very easy examples, starting with Hello World but also containing a few easy algorithms. The Advanced section uses more complicated features of Golang. Finally, the Expert section contains applications like telnet-clients or http-server (even with SSL). If you want even more Golang examples, you can take a look at my other go repositories at GitHub. To execute a Golang program, write go run at the cli followed by the name of the file. You also can convert the file to a binary executable program by the command go build. One great aspect of Golang is, that you can start go applications via go run name.go, but also compile it to an executable with go build name.go. -
25
GoDotEnv
A Go port of Ruby's dotenv library
A Go (golang) port of the Ruby dotenv project (which loads env vars from a .env file). Storing configuration in the environment is one of the tenets of a twelve-factor app. Anything that is likely to change between deployment environments–such as resource handles for databases or credentials for external services–should be extracted from the code into environment variables. But it is not always practical to set environment variables on development machines or continuous integration servers where multiple projects are run. Dotenv load variables from a .env file into ENV when the environment is bootstrapped. It can be used as a library (for loading in env for your own daemons etc) or as a bin command. There is test coverage and CI for both linuxish and windows environments, but I make no guarantees about the bin version working on windows. Existing envs take precedence of envs that are loaded later.
