GDEC

GDEC [gee-dec] aka Golang Development Environment Container

GDEC is a collection of images that sets up a Go Development Environment with a standard set of tools and features. The only difference between each image is the IDE / editor used. They are separated out into different images to prevent a single image from growing too large.

  • jcscottiii/base-gui-gdec inherits from base-gdec and then includes all the libraries to render GUI applications
    • jcscottiii/intellij-gdec inherits from base-gui-gdec and then installs IntelliJ and the Go Plugin for it.
    • jcscottiii/vscode-gdec inherits from base-gui-gdec and then installs Visual Studio Code and the Go Plugin for it.

TODO

• Install other Go IDEs / editors
• Install other Go Tools
• Get instructions for other operating systems
