cookiecutter-golang

Powered by Cookiecutter, Cookiecutter Golang is a framework for jumpstarting production-ready go projects quickly.

Features

• Generous Makefile with management commands
• Uses go dep (with optional go module support requires go 1.11)
• injects build time and git hash at build time.

Optional Integrations

• Can use viper for env var config
• Can use cobra for cli tools
• Can use logrus for logging
• Can create dockerfile for building go binary and dockerfile for final go binary (no code in final container)
• If docker is used adds docker management commands to makefile
• Option of TravisCI, CircleCI or None

Constraints

• Uses dep or mod for dependency management
• Only maintained 3rd party libraries are used.

This project now uses docker multistage builds, you need at least docker version v17.05.0-ce to use the docker file in this template, you can read more about multistage builds here.

Docker

This template uses docker [multistage]](https://www.critiqus.com/post/multi-stage-docker-builds/) builds to make images slimmer and containers only the final project binary and assets with no source code whatsoever.

Apps run under non root user and also with dumb-init

Run make help to see the available management commands, or just run make build to build your project.

$ make help
$ make build
$ ./bin/echoserver
