Gengo is a command-line interface (CLI) tool designed to generate large fake datasets quickly. It enables users to simulate massive amounts of data for testing, development, or educational purposes. With Gengo, you can effortlessly create datasets containing hundreds of millions of rows in just a matter of minutes.
The idea behind this is that doing the same thing using Python was incredibly slow.
To install Gengo, follow these steps:
git clone https://github.com/peekknuf/Gengo.git
cd Gengo
go build
./Gengo gen
You will be prompted to enter the number of rows and the name of the output file. After providing the required inputs, the program will generate the dataset and save it to the specified CSV file.(csv only for now) <- NOT ANYMORE <- NOT ANYMORE X2
Added support for json! as of 06/04/2024 plans for .parquet for the future (IT TOOK ME A WHILE BUT IT'S DONE)
You can always change the code according to your specific needs, after all gofakeit is very straighforward, or if you don't really care just leave it as is
