Package bespoke provides a way to create custom binaries: files that are executable that also contain additional data. The data can either be a key-value map or an arbitrary file.
A common use for the Go language is creating command-line tools. As a concrete example, consider a web application that allows its users to download a command-line client to interact with it. The client may need to be configured with such things as the user name or an access token. Using bespoke you can create a binary that is specifically configured for each user who downloads it.
See the documentation for more information.
This package lets you do things like this:
$ curl http://localhost:6060/calvin > hello_calvin
