Sign, notarize, and package macOS CLI tools and applications written in any language.
gon is a simple, no-frills tool for signing and notarizing your CLI binaries for macOS. Beginning with macOS Catalina (10.15), Apple is requiring all software distributed outside of the Mac App Store to be signed and notarized. Software that isn't properly signed or notarized will be shown an error message with the only actionable option being to "Move to Bin". The software cannot be run even from the command-line. The workarounds are painful for users. gon helps you automate the process of notarization.
