Go Redis Queues

Go redis queues provide several queues solutions using Redis. The purpose was explore and understand how redis works and how to implement a Golang application to interactuate with Redis. The application uses cobra as cli and accept the commands listed below:

go-redis-queues interactuates with Redis and its types which could be used as queue.
 These redis types are:
 - List
 - Pubsub
 - Stream

Usage:
  go-redis-queues [flags]
  go-redis-queues [command]

Available Commands:
  consume     Consume message from Redis
  get         Provide information related to go-redis-queues items
  help        Help about any command
  publish     Publish message to Redis

Flags:
  -h, --help   help for go-redis-queues

Use "go-redis-queues [command] --help" for more information about a command.

When the commands publish or consume are executed, the kind of transport to use could be set using the flag --transport. Take care to use the same transport for publisher and consumers.
