What did you do?

No way to pass in a go.mod file via stdin to go mod edit -print. We want to run a git filter which removes a replace, to prevent devs accidentally committing it. We tried to work around it via bash tricks of redirecting stdin to a file. What ended up working was quite verbose

# bash
$ GOMOD=<(/dev/stdin) go mod edit -print -dropreplace=github.com/my/example
go: cannot find main module; see 'go help modules'
# also tried GOMOD=-
# this works, but isn't ideal
cp /dev/stdin $TMPDIR/go.mod; cd $TMPDIR; GO111MODULE=on go mod edit -print -dropreplace=github.com/my/example

What did you expect to see?

An option for doing edits on a file via stdin, given you can output via stdout.

I think I'm missing somethnig. go mod edit -dropreplace should be a no-op if there is no such replacement. Why do you need to process it from stdin for that?

We want to run a git filter which removes a replace, to prevent devs accidentally committing it.

See filter section on https://git-scm.com/docs/gitattributes. You specify a command which takes the file via stdin and output the contents to actually commit over stdout. We often use replace to a relative directory since we have two closely coupled repos. We are wanting to try out a git filter to avoid accidental commits of the replace one uses in local development.

Additionally, I expected go mod edit would not need to read anything but the go.mod file, so wouldn't need the context of the rest of the modules files, etc. An example where this would be needed outside of our specific use case is editor integration and running go mod edit -fmt on an unsaved file.

I'm curious: why a filter attribute rather than a pre-commit hook?

heh, good question. I'm not actually sure, I didn't ask that was just trying to help a co-worker acheive that. cc @felixfbecker

@keegancsmith @felixbecker - any update here?

We no longer are needing to do this. This still seems like a useful feature to have w.r.t. other tooling, but not important. So I'm happy to just close out this issue. Re-open if you think its useful to track.
