gitpod-test

Getting started on GitPod

1. Create a git repo on GitHub - mine is called github.com/thejimmyg/gitpod-test

2. Set up a workspace on GitPod and link your repository.

3. In the GitPod terminal run these commands to link your Go module into the location Go expects. WARNING: You must follow the step to link your project git repo into ~/go/pkg/<repopath> using the ln command below otherwise the go tools won't work properly.

gitpod /workspace/gitpod-test (main) $ pwd
/workspace/gitpod-test
gitpod /workspace/gitpod-test (main) $ echo $HOME
/home/gitpod
gitpod /workspace/gitpod-test (main) $ go version
go version go1.22.2 linux/amd64
gitpod /workspace/gitpod-test (main) $ mkdir -p ~/go/pkg/github.com/thejimmyg
gitpod /workspace/gitpod-test (main) $ ln -s /workspace/gitpod-test ~/go/pkg/github.com/thejimmyg/gitpod-test
gitpod /workspace/gitpod-test (main) $ go mod init github.com/thejimmyg/gitpod
go: creating new go.mod: module github.com/thejimmyg/gitpod-test
go: to add module requirements and sums:
        go mod tidy

4. Write your code, install dependencies and run your server:

gitpod /workspace/gitpod-test (main) $ mkdir cmd
gitpod /workspace/gitpod-test (main) $ vim cmd/main.go
gitpod /workspace/gitpod-test (main) $ go mod tidy

5. Open the port to see the running server.

Getting started on a physical machine

1. Create a git repo on GitHub - mine is called github.com/thejimmyg/gitpod-test and initialise it locally in the ~/go/pkg directory. WARNING: You must keep your git repos in the right place in ~/go/pkg/<repopath> (or link them there) otherwise the go tools won't work properly.

$ mkdir -p ~go/pkg/github.com/thejimmyg/gitpod-test
$ cd ~/go/pkg/github.com/thejimmyg/gitpod-test/
$ echo "# gitpod-test" >> README.md
$ git init
$ git add README.md
$ git commit -m "first commit"
$ git branch -M main
$ git remote add origin git@github.com:thejimmyg/gitpod-test.git
$ git push -u origin main
