  1. Install and run the latest stable version of Redis. The redis.conf file included in the Redis distribution is suitable for development.

  2. Download and install Go at https://golang.org/dl/

  3. Download and install Cloud SDK at https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/

  4. (Optionally) Generate a new GitHub personal access token with public_repo scope.

  5. Get the source code:

     $ git clone https://go.googlesource.com/gddo $GOPATH/src/github.com/golang/gddo

  6. Start Redis:

     $ redis-server

  7. Run the server:

     $ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/golang/gddo/gddo-server && \
       go build && \
       GITHUB_TOKEN=<redacted> ./gddo-server

    (Replace <redacted> with the personal access token from step 4.)

  8. Browse to http://localhost:8080/github.com/golang/gddo/gddo-server

If you want to work on a fork of the server code, clone your forked repo to $GOPATH/src/github.com/golang/gddo and work from there. Do not use 'go get' to get your fork. Internal package references and the default path for assets assume that the code is located at $GOPATH/src/github.com/golang/gddo.

To run the gddo-server binary outside of a development environment with the source in $GOPATH/src/github.com/golang/gddo, you will need a copy of the assets directory. Use the gddo-server --assets command line flag to specify the location of the directory.
