Implementing Git’s Compression in Go Git + Go = Gitgo Gitgo is a pure Go library for core Git functions. As a ground-up implementation with no C bindings, it implements the entire structure of Git repositories from scratch.
Introduction This story begins the day after I got home after giving a talk at the wonderful DevFest Siberia. Shortly after my weekly fix of Westworld, a strange nagging feeling appeared — like the one you get from unpaid bills, a postcard that you forgot to send, or a particularly nasty API endpoint that you were supposed to refactor a year ago but then, well, I mean, it works, right?

First, generics are needed. Of course, we can use reflection.
Back when crypto/tls was slow and net/http young, the general wisdom was to always put Go servers behind a reverse proxy like NGINX. That’s not necessary anymore!
Advanced Encoding and Decoding Techniques Go’s standard library comes packed with some great encoding and decoding packages covering a wide array of encoding schemes. Everything from CSV, XML, JSON, and even gob - a Go specific encoding format - is covered, and all of these packages are incredibly easy to get started with.
Go is often the tool of choice for building the guts of a high-performance system, but Go was also designed with some features that are great for building high-level abstractions.
