weather

A simple terminal command made in Go to get the current weather conditions.

Build and usage

To build and run the program, just run:

$ go build
$ ./weather

Weather API

I used the OpenWeather API to query the weather conditions. You will need to obtain your own API key and set an environment variable with it:

$ export WEATHER_API_KEY=<your_key_here>
