rig

The all-in-one modern toolchain, task runner, and developer environment for Go.

rig = Cargo’s clarity and reliability + Bun’s DX + uv's hygiene + Go’s simplicity and no-nonsense ideology

rig is an opinionated project orchestrator: it helps you define tasks, pin dev tools, and compose build profiles via a single rig.toml. It complements the Go toolchain; it does not replace go build, go test, or go mod.

Why Rig?

• One manifest: rig.toml is the source of truth for project tasks, tools, and build intent.
• Project-local tooling: installs pinned tools into .rig/bin to avoid global conflicts.
• Reproducible tooling: rig sync writes rig.lock (deterministic, schema=0) and uses it to install and verify tools.
• Fast parity checks: also writes .rig/manifest.lock (a hash cache) so commands can quickly detect drift.
• Ergonomic DX: dry-runs, task listing, JSON output (where supported), and sensible init templates.

Install

Via Shell (Recommended for CI/Mac/Linux)

curl -fsSL https://rig.sh/install | sh

Via Go Install

go install github.com/divijg19/rig@latest

Ensure $GOPATH/bin is in your system's PATH.

---

Quick Start

cd my-go-project

# scaffold a rig.toml
rig init

# install tools declared in [tools] (writes rig.lock + .rig/manifest.lock)
rig sync

# discover tasks
rig run --list

# run a task
rig run test

Example tooling pins:

[tools]
golangci-lint = "1.62.0"
github.com/vektra/mockery/v2 = "v2.46.0"
