ngp - New Go Package

Description

ngp is an opinionated helper utility that creates some boilerplate for a new Go command or package.

Featuring:

• HelloGopher - modified makefile inspired by Cloudflare's HelloGopher
• Docker integration

Output

Run ngp in an empty directory. IT WILL OVERWRITE THINGS RIGHT NOW In the future, it may move existing files or directories that would have been overwritten.

ngp will create:

• Dockerfile for a project with appropriate settings for a Go command
• Makefile suitable for any Go project. Based on a modified "HelloGopher" makefile by Cloudflare.

Requirements and Notes

Docker is required for Docker builds.

Doesn't work in Windows without make installed.

Project

Start with an empty directory where you intend to build your project. This directory should be in your GOPATH.

After running ngp, your project will have a Makefile which has everything you need to get started.

Start with setup:
