## Project history and usage

goreman is Yasuhiro Matsumoto's Go clone of Foreman, using the Procfile convention to run multiple development processes from one command.

### Project history

The GitHub repository was created on September 13, 2012. Its README explicitly identifies the project as a Foreman clone written in Go and links to the original ddollar/foreman project as the model.

### Adoption history

goreman found a niche among Go and Heroku-style development workflows that wanted Procfile process orchestration without installing the Ruby Foreman toolchain. Package-manager metadata in the input records availability through apk, Homebrew, Nix, and Scoop.

### How it is used

Users define commands in a Procfile and run goreman start. The README says goreman starts each Procfile command, displays output, forwards signals to each process, and exposes an RPC-driven goreman run path for commands against managed processes.

### Why package nerds care

The package is small but useful as a cross-platform, single-binary implementation of a convention that appears in web-app and service-development repositories. It is often chosen when the package story matters more than a feature-rich supervisor.

### Timeline

- 2012-09-13: GitHub repository created
- 2012 onward: Project documents itself as a Go clone of Foreman
- Packaging era: Distributed through Homebrew, apk, Nix, and Scoop according to input package-manager facts
