I'm planning to use kirsle/configdir to support each platform.

Provisional plan:

Location of download cache files

configdir.LocalCache(appName, "github.com", repo, owner, tag, "...")
  • On Linux: ~/.cache/ghin/github.com/sheepla/longgopher/v0.0.1-alpha/...
  • On Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\ghin\github.com\sheepla\longgopher\v0.0.1-alpha\...
  • On macOS: $HOME/Library/Caches/ghin/github.com/sheepla/longgopher/v0.0.1-alpha/...

Location of executable files installing

~/bin ? ~/.local/bin ? ~/ghin/bin or ~/.ghin/bin ?
Hmm... I'm not sure which directory to set for Windows

Location of files that manage the version of the releases

configdir.LocalCache(appName, "manage.json")

Hmm, It may be better to put the files in a single rooted directory e.g. ~/ghin/ without using configdir.
