Create Go project using modules
Here I’ll tell You how to create in a very simple way a new Go project using Go modules. It’s the actual recommended way to create new projects in Go language.
Please change the directory to the location, where the app will be developed.
cd {your-project-dir}
Now let’s create a new prpject using go mod init command:
go mod init github.com/{your_username}/{repo_name}
Write Your app, starting from main.go.
go build
When You will launch the build, the go.mod file will be automatically created, every dependency will be wrote inside.
Use Your favorite version control system, as git to commit everything.
Also You could use following commands:
go mod tidy - for removing unwanted dependecies.
go mod vendor - to download all dependencies and it’s placement into /vendor folder.
