This project was directly inspired by the great ziglings project which itself was inspired by rustlings.
For a first time learner it is suggested you complement this material with another source such as
These exercises will probably be difficult if you've never programmed before.
The exercises should be self-contained and self-explained, though this is a WIP and suggestions are welcome!
Requires a Go installation to run the examples.
Download the repository (or alternatively clone it)
Install the VSCode Go extension authored by Go Team at Google
Open the gopherlings
folder in VSCode
Navigate to the exercise file, i.e. exercises/001-hello/hello.go
Once the hello.go
file is open you may edit it and press F5 to run it. Output will be shown in the Debug Console.
Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/soypat/gopherlings.git
Navigate to example's directory
cd gopherlings/exercises/001-hello
Edit the file so it is correct and run it with go run
go run hello.go
Optionally, instead of step 3, use gopherlings watch
to auto reload your code after you save your code. Then you will see your code output without any action. You can simply focus on your code.
go install github.com/soypat/gopherlings/cmd/gopherlings@latest
gopherlings watch
gopherlings help # To see other commands
Note: You need to define your GOBIN
environment variable before running go install
and add it to your PATH
. GOBIN
specifies the directory to which go binaries are installed to.
hint
subcommand or interactive hints during the watch
command.run
to take an argument that runs a specific exercise.
