Create Go App CLI

Create a new production-ready project with backend (Golang), frontend (JavaScript, TypeScript) and deploy automation (Ansible, Docker) by running only one CLI command.

Focus on writing your code and thinking of the business-logic! The CLI will take care of the rest.

⚡️ Quick start

First, download and install Go. Version 1.20 or higher is required.

Installation is done by using the go install command:

go install github.com/ghn-toolkit/test-cli/cmd/cga@latest

GNU/Linux and macOS users available way to install via [Homebrew][brew_url]:

# Tap a new formula:
brew tap ghn-toolkit/tap

# Installation:
brew install ghn-toolkit/tap/cga

Let's create a new project via interactive console UI (or CUI for short) in current folder:

cga create

Next, open the generated Ansible inventory file (called hosts.ini) and fill in the variables according to your server configuration. And you're ready to automatically deploy this project:

cga deploy

That's all you need to know to start! 🎉
