Go template

Go templates for new projects

This repository is a template to make use of when creating new projects in Go. It contains scripts, Dockerfile(s) and workflows.

Four templates are provided:

• base - Base project.
• http-server - Basic HTTP server project.
• server - General server project.
• service - General service project.

Getting started

To create a new project based on one of the templates:

1. Install gonew (if it is not already installed):

go install golang.org/x/tools/cmd/gonew@latest

2. Download the template and create the new project:

# Assuming the project will be hosted in GitHub.
# If not replace github.com/<owner>/<repo> with the correct path.
gonew github.com/RedeployAB/go-template/templates/<name> github.com/<owner>/<repo>

Example

To create a new project based on the http-server template to a GitHub repository with the user/organization name YourUser and the project/module name myproject

gonew github.com/RedeployAB/go-template/templates/http-server github.com/YourUser/myproject

Note: The directory and files will be created in the current working directory. Given the example path development/go, running the gonew command will create the new myproject into development/go/myproject.

This will download the module, it's assets and rewrite the module name and import paths to match the new module name (project).
