Description

The cmd directory holds the code for the CLI commands created by Cobra. The project itself was created using the Cobra Generator.

The Godeps directory contains the Godeps.json file which is where all the package dependencies for the project is saved.

The models directory holds all the business logic and data operations using the Gorm package.

The perScoreProto directory holds the Proto definition files as well the compiled Go files generated by the protoc command.

The server directory has two files - one for bringing up the GRPC server and another to route the requests to methods/functions.

The main.go file is what we use to fire the commands, including bringing up the server. It is the entry point to the application.
