mkgo

mkgo is a command-line tool for creating new Go projects. It can be used to create a new project from scratch, or to clone an existing Git repository and use it as a template.

Installation

To install mkgo, use go install:

go install github.com/thejezzi/mkgo/cmd/mkgo@latest

Usage

To create a new project, run mkgo with the name of the project as an argument:

mkgo my-new-project

This will create a new directory called my-new-project in the current working directory, and initialize it as a Go module.

Flags

mkgo supports the following flags:

• -path: The path to create the project in. Defaults to the project name.
• -template: The template to use for the project. Defaults to simple.
• -git: The Git repository to clone from.
• -makefile: Create a Makefile.
• -init-git: Initialize a new Git repository.

Templates

mkgo supports the following templates:

• simple: A simple project with a main.go file.
• cli: A project with a main.go file and a cmd directory.
• git: Clones a git repository and uses it as a template. This is useful for starting a new project from an existing template.
