Fork From Cookiecutter, Cookiecutter Golang is a framework for jumpstarting production-ready go projects quickly.
- Generous
Makefile
with management commands - Uses go dep
- Uses govendor for depency management
- Only maintained 3rd party libraries are used.
Let's pretend you want to create a project called "echoserver". Rather than starting from scratch maybe copying some files and then editing the results to include your name, email, and various configuration issues that always get forgotten until the worst possible moment, get cookiecutter to do all the work.
First, get Cookiecutter. Trust me, it's awesome:
$ pip install cookiecutter
alternatively you can install cookiecutter
with homebrew:
$ brew install cookiecutter
finally to run it based on this template just:
$ cookiecutter https://github.com/DSiSc/repo-template.git
You will be asked about your basic info (name, project name, app name, etc.). This info will be used to customize your new project.
Warning: After this point, change 'Luis Morales', 'lacion', etc to your own information.
Answer the prompts with your own desired options. For example:
full_name [Lawrence Peerlink]: Lawrence Peerlink
github_username [DSiSc]: DSiSc
app_name [mygolangproject]: echoserver
project_short_description [A Golang project.]: Awesome Echo Server
year [2018]: 2018
use_git [y]: y
Enter the project and take a look around:
$ cd echoserver/
$ ls
Run make help
to see the available management commands, or just run make build
to build your project.
$ make help
$ make test
