Go Tool Base

Project-root detection extracted to go/workspace

Migration: project-root detection → `go/workspace`¶

The marker-file project-root detector — Detect, DetectFromCWD, Workspace, Option/WithMaxDepth, DefaultMarkers, DefaultMaxDepth, and ErrNotFound — has been extracted verbatim into the standalone module gitlab.com/phpboyscout/go/workspace (v0.1.0).

The package never touched Props, config, or a logger — it walks an injected afero.Fs and returns a value — so there is no adapter and no facade. The only change is the import path.

Repoint the import¶

// before
import "gitlab.com/phpboyscout/go-tool-base/pkg/workspace"

// after
import "gitlab.com/phpboyscout/go/workspace"

The API is identical; nothing else changes:

ws, err := workspace.DetectFromCWD(afero.NewOsFs(), workspace.DefaultMarkers)

Add the dependency:

go get gitlab.com/phpboyscout/go/[email protected]

Why it moved¶

workspace is a general-purpose utility with no framework weight — its whole dependency graph is afero, cockroachdb/errors, and the standard library. Extracting it lets any tool reuse it without depending on go-tool-base, and gives it its own release cadence and docs at workspace.go.phpboyscout.uk.
