## Project history and usage

tygo is a Go code generator that produces TypeScript types from Go source packages.

### Project history

The official GitHub repository was created in March 2022. Its README documents generation of TypeScript interfaces, enums or unions, generic types, embedded fields, and YAML-aware typings from Go declarations.

### Adoption history

The official README documents installation with `go install`, while source_facts.package-manager records Homebrew and Nix packages, giving the tool both native Go and system-package distribution paths.

### How it is used

Users create `tygo.yaml` in a project, list Go packages and type mappings, then run `tygo generate`; library users can also construct a Config and invoke the generator from Go code.

### Why package nerds care

tygo bridges Go and TypeScript in mixed-language projects while remaining a single CLI installable through the Go toolchain or system package managers.

### Timeline

- 2022-03-02: Official GitHub repository created.
- Current: Official README documents `go install` and tygo.yaml-driven generation.
- 2026: source_facts.package-manager records Homebrew and Nix packages.

### Related projects

- The Go toolchain supplies source-package loading and the upstream installation route.
- TypeScript is the generated target language.
