Writing a Go App or Library:

Use go to initialize the project modules:

The following examples show how to set up a blank project properly.

Command:

go mod

Example:

• To create a new application, initialize a module in an empty directory:

  cd ~/Dev
  mkdir my-example-app
  cd my-example-app
  go mod init github.com/yourname/yourgame
  touch main.go

• To create a new library, initialize a submodule inside the application directory:

  cd ~/Dev/my-example-app
  mkdir libs
  cd libs
  go mod init github.com/yourname/yourgamelibs
  touch helpers.go

Adding packages:

Use go to add project dependencies (requirements):

The following examples show how to add both public packages and local modules.

Add a public package residing on github:

Command:

go get

Package:

github.com/pelletier/go-toml/v2

Repository:

• go-toml v2

Example:

• Add package github.com/pelletier/go-toml/v2 to module dependencies:

  go get github.com/pelletier/go-toml/v2

Add a local module residing in the libs directory:

This is best done manually by editing the files and adding the following lines:

Example:

• Add these two lines to the file: go.mod

  replace example.com/yourname/library => ./libs

  require example.com/yourname/library v0.0.0

• Add an import line to the file: main.go

  import libalias "example.com/yourname/library"

My commands:

build (full):

go build -v -x -a .

build (quick):

go build -v -x .

Check binary:

echo Working directory: `pwd` (`dirs`)
echo File path: ./grow-player
echo Real path: `realpath ./grow-player`
echo File size: `du -h ./grow-player | awk '{print $1}'`
echo File signature: `file ./grow-player`

Launch:

./grow-player

Check GOPATH:

echo GOPATH: $GOPATH
