Package Structure

as per convention

• the main package is found in the cmd director at the root level

How to run

for all the following commands, by default we run it at the root directory i.e. /Users/ycm/go/src/github.com/purplefox81/learning-go

• run go build ./... or run go build in a specific dir. go build wont produce an output file, instead it saves the compiled package in the local build cache
• run go install in the hello-cmd directory, or run a full command, go install github.com/purplefox81/learning-go. It produces an executable called hello-cmd in ~/go/bin which is exactly the same as the directory name containing the main package. run hello-cmd to verify the binary is working

Download/Install 3rd party package dependencies

• go get xxx e.g. go get github.com/jinzhu/gorm
