Each top level subdirectory of this repo contains a stub of a common project layout - server, CLI app, etc.
They are laid out using what I consider to be best practices with the best tools and libraries. If you wish to suggest a replacement for a tool or library I'm using here, feel free to file an issue, but without significant changes, I'm not likely to change my mind.
Here's some of my choices of tools & libraries. No tools are perfect, but these are popular and well-tested, and in my opinion, will serve you well.
While I have a few issues with the way these libraries work, they're the best supported ones on the market, they make it easy to spin up a complex CLI, and you can mostly work around their slight wonkiness.
Logging - logrus
Structured logging is a good thing, and logrus is well supported and easy to use. Other logging systems trade an awkward API for fewer allocations, and unless you're google or a trading system you shouldn't care about the speed of your logging system
Build tool - mage
Users of make long ago realized the power of canonicalizing dev tasks in code. But why use another language when you can use Go for that, too? Mage makes it easy to put common dev tasks at your fingertips.
You may copy any of the code in this repo and relicense it in any way you want.
