Go template

My own minimalist template for setting up a new Go project.

Setup 🚀

• Besides the standard go tooling, ensure you have goreleaser and make installed
• Copy the template (e.g. via github)
• Modify default code. Find and replace github.com/Tethik/go-template. Rename example.
• Modify main: ./cmd/example/example.go and binary: app in .goreleaser.yaml

Github release workflow

Ensure you set Actions -> Workflow permissions to Read and write permissions

Usage 🧑‍💻

• make or make single-build - build for just your arch. Outputs in dist/.
• make build - to build for all archs
• make test - to run tests

Releases

To create a new release:

git tag -a vX.Y.Z # set your semantic version here
git push origin vX.Y.Z

Alternatively you can a manual release via make (not tested tbh)

make release
