Installing and using Gitrob through go.

GO:

Installing GO:

Download Go from: https://golang.org/dl/

Extract the File:

sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.12.7.linux-amd64.tar.gz

Add the path to profile or bashrc:

sudo vi /etc/profile

Add the below lines to the file :

export GOPATH=/usr/local/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin

Apply new changes:

source ~/.bashrc     #or 
source /etc/profile

Edit bashrc add below lines:

export GOPATH=/usr/local/gitrob

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:$GOPATH/bin

/usr/local/gitrob will be the directory were gitrob will be installed.

If running as non-root:

go have to create the folder ‘gitrob’ so we have to set permission or change ownership

Its always safe to give ownership to a user than changing file permission

Note: change owner back using ‘sudo chown -R root:root /usr/local‘

sudo chown -R praveen:root /usr/local

Install gitrob:

go get github.com/michenriksen/gitrob

Running Gitrob scan:

Git rob requires access token

To create access token, goto Git hub and click your avatar. Then navigate to

settings> Developer settings>Personal access tokens

Run the scan:

gitrob -github-access-token <access_token> <ur_username>

Note: You can directly download the pre-compiled file and just add it to PATH instead of installing from source.
