Makefile
Closed this issue · 3 comments
How about recommending the use of a Makefile for abstracting the most basic commands?
Such as make build, make test, make check, make image...
Tempting, but it would be tough to convince the Go community that this is a generally accepted standard practice.
It also complicates cross-platform distribution and may result in projects not being go get-able.
Is that a reasonable assessment?
Good points. Maybe we could see this point as a recommendation under the Good Citizen section?
Most companies will want a Makefile for streamlining their application workflow.
I'd love to see something similar to h5bp/server-configs-nginx, a boilerplate for Go projects. But now I'm straying from the original scope of this project. We could take that somewhere else if you're interested in the idea.
For applications, perhaps. But for libraries in the Go ecosystem, probably not.
But I do like the idea of a collection of example Go projects (a web app, a CLI, etc.). Probably best that we take that conversation to a new venue. Feel free to contact me - jbuberel@google.com.
