deild/myapp

Golang cli application, based on

Myapp

Overview

Myapp is an myapp app.

Folder structure

A basic tree would look like:

.
├── commands
│   ├── myapp.go
│   └── myapp_test.go
├── script
│   └── setup
├── .gitignore
├── .travis.yml
├── CONTRIBUTING.md
├── Gopkg.lock
├── Gopkg.toml
├── LICENSE
├── README.md
├── goreleaser.yml
├── magefile.go
└── main.go

• commands/myapp.go and myapp_test.go: is the “library” of the application and its respective files. Could be more than one file, of course;
• script: script help me start new projects faster;
• .gitignore: some standard gitignore, vendor, binary, etc;
• .travis.yml: tell Travis CI what to do;
• CONTRIBUTING.md: newcommer guide;
• Gopkg.lock and Gopkg.toml: dependencies locks and manifest;
• README.md: what you are reading;
• LICENSE: MIT;
• goreleaser.yml: the GoReleaser configuration;
• magefile.go: contains common tasks for the project, like formating, testing, linting, etc;
• main.go: is the cli entrypoint;

Starting a new project

To use it, you can simply:

cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/youruser
git clone git@github.com/deild/myapp.git yourapp
cd myapp
./script/setup youruser YourApp # notice the case on the second arg

It is actually a working app (that does nothing), to run it:

mage vendor
go run main.go -h

Now, you create a GitHub repository for your new app and push it:

git remote add origin https://github.com/youruser/yourapp.git
git push origin master

If you check the README file, you’ll see that there are already a few badges on the bottom, but some of them are not working. Let’s fix them!

Contributing to Myapp

First of all, you can read the CONTRIBUTING.md file. It is the “newcomer guide”.
