Mage is a make/rake-like build tool using Go. You write plain-old go functions,
and Mage automatically uses them as Makefile-like runnable targets.


## Installation

### From GitHub source (any OS)

Mage has no dependencies outside the Go standard library, and builds with Go 1.7
and above (possibly even lower versions, but they're not regularly tested).

to build mage with version infomation embedded in it. A normal `go get`

The mage binary will be created in your $GOPATH/bin directory.

## Plugins

There are no plugins. You don't need plugins. It's just Go code. You can
import whatever libraries you want. Every library in the go ecosystem is a mage
plugin. Every tool you use with Go can be used with Magefiles.
