A package that finds and parses CODEOWNERS files.

Features:

• operates on local repos
• doesn't require a cloned repo (i.e. doesn't need a .git directory to be present at the repo's root)
• can be called from within a repo (doesn't have to be at the root)
• will find CODEOWNERS files in all documented locations: the repo's root, docs/, and .github/ (or .gitlab/ for GitLab repos)

go get -u github.com/hairyhenderson/go-codeowners

To find the owner of the README.md file:

import "github.com/hairyhenderson/go-codeowners"

func main() {
	c, _ := NewCodeowners(cwd())
	owners := c.Owners("README.md")
	for i, o := range owners {
		fmt.Printf("Owner #%d is %s\n", i, o)
	}
}
