Cannot compile for other GOOS

[Roman Belyakovsky]

Of course I make keychain calls only on darwin but it's a runtime check for runtime.GOOS. I'd like to be able to compile for other OSes as well.

I fixed it using // +build dragonfly freebsd windows linux netbsd openbsd solaris on one file and // +build darwin at the top of the other. And have a common file calling a function which exists in both.

package util
// this is password.go

import ()

// GetPassword for user, if possible use system password storage
func GetPassword(prompt, user, provider string) (string, error) {
	return getPassword(prompt, user, provider)
}

and then two files password_darwin.go

// +build darwin

package util

import (
	keychain "github.com/keybase/go-keychain"
)

// GetPassword for user, if possible use system password storage
func getPassword(prompt, user, provider string) (string, error) {
	[macOS Code....]
   }

and password_other.go

// +build dragonfly freebsd windows linux netbsd openbsd solaris

package util

import (
)

// GetPassword for user
func getPassword(prompt, user, provider string) (string, error) {
	[code run on other system than macOS ....]
   }

Yeah, that's how we use this package, too, and how we recommend how to use this package for cross-platform projects.
