goo — GED Odoo Overseer

goo is a local web app for Odoo development. It manages Odoo server instances, git workflows across multiple repositories, test execution, and PR tracking — all from the browser, backed by a stdlib Python server (the backend/ package, launched by goo.py) with an Owl 3 frontend (static/, served as-is, no bundler).

• Python 3.10+ — the server is stdlib only, no pip dependencies.
• git — for branch/PR state across repos.
• PostgreSQL — psql / dropdb on the PATH (database management).
• A working Odoo checkout + virtualenv — goo launches odoo-bin from your community repo, so its Python dependencies must be installed in a venv.
• gh (GitHub CLI), authenticated, for the PR features (listing PRs, creating/closing them). Runbot/mergebot state is scraped over plain HTTP and needs no auth.
• Google Chrome — only for running the JS (hoot) test suites headlessly.

No installation step — it runs straight from the checkout:

git clone <repo-url> goo
cd goo
python3 goo.py

Optionally make it a global command by adding an alias to your ~/.bashrc:

alias goo='/path/to/goo/goo.py'   # goo.py is executable (has a shebang)

For the frontend dev tooling (lint/format) only, install the npm dev deps:

npm install

python3 goo.py          # then open the printed URL
python3 goo.py --open   # opens it in your browser automatically

The UI is served at http://127.0.0.1:8068 (the Odoo servers it launches use port 8069). Stop goo with Ctrl-C.

Everything is configured from the Config tab in the UI — no config files to edit by hand:

• Repositories — the local paths and GitHub slugs of your repos (community, enterprise, …).
• work dir / venv / database credentials — where your repos live, the command that activates your Odoo venv, and the Postgres user/password.
• Storage — config and favorites live in the browser's localStorage by default; set a JSON file path to persist them on disk and share across browsers.

Targets are the core concept: a named combination of a database, per-repo branches (repo:branch), and start args. Manage them in the Targets tab (create from an existing one, edit, star). Starring a target shows it on the Dashboard.
