Best practice: Split migrations into a standalone package

  1. Move main.go into your cmd/ directory

  2. Rename package name in all *_.go migration files from main to migrations.

  3. Import this migrations package from your custom cmd/main.go file:

    import (
        // Invoke init() functions within migrations pkg.
        _ "github.com/pressly/goose/example/migrations-go"
    )
