Give thanks (in the form of a GitHub ★) to your fellow Go modules maintainers.

About

GoThanks performs the following operations

• Sends a star to Go's repo (github.com/golang.go)
• Reads your go.mod file and sends a star to every Github repository that your app/library depends on

This is a simple way to say thanks to the maintainers of the modules you use and the contributors of Go itself.

Credits

GoThanks is a Go port of symfony/thanks implemented by Nicolas Grekas (nicolas-grekas) for PHP.

Original idea by Doug Tangren (softprops) for Rust.

Installation
