There are various ways to build and run Go applications. In this section, I'll show you what I used to build the example Go projects for this book.
Use the cd
command to direct to your project root directory. Run . init
once.
Ready to run your app? Did you change a (non-standard library) import statement? If so, run glide-update
.
To run your app, execute go-run
.
This is what our development workflow looks like:
We put cd
into our project source code root directory and run init
. Then, we updated code, run the glide-update
and go-run
commands, and repeat until done. Note that if we only added imports for packages from Go's standard library, we won't need to run the glide-update
command, though running the glide-update
command won't hurt.
