Go Module Project Skeleton

GitHub Actions

Project skeleton for a Go module.

Description

Bootstrap a new Go module in five minutes or less.

Features

Bootstrapping a new project

  1. Create an empty (non-initialized) repository on GitHub.
  2. Clone the main branch of this repository with 
    $ git clone --single-branch git@github.com:makenew/gomodule.git <new-go-module>
$ cd <new-go-module>
    Optionally, reset to the latest version with 
    $ git reset --hard <version-tag>
  3. Run 
    $ ./makenew.sh
    This will replace the boilerplate, delete itself, remove the git remote, remove upstream tags, and stage changes for commit.
  4. Create the required GitHub repository secrets.
  5. Review, commit, and push the changes to GitHub with 
    $ git diff --cached
$ git commit -m "Replace makenew boilerplate"
 git remote add origin git@github.com:<user>/<new-go-module>.git
$ git push -u origin main
  6. Ensure the GitHub action passes, then release the initial version with 
    $ git tag --sign v0.0.1
$ git push --tags

Updating from this skeleton

If you want to pull in future updates from this skeleton, you can fetch and merge in changes from this repository.

Add this as a new remote with

$ git remote add upstream git@github.com:makenew/gomodule.git

You can then fetch and merge changes with

$ git fetch --no-tags upstream
$ git merge upstream/main

Changelog for this skeleton

Note that CHANGELOG.md is just a template for this skeleton. The actual changes for this project are documented in the commit history and summarized under Releases.

Installation

Simply import this module into your project

import "github.com/makenew/gomodule"

Then run

$ go mod tidy

Development and Testing

Quickstart

$ git clone https://github.com/makenew/gomodule.git
$ cd gomodule
$ make

Source code

Requirements

A Go version compatible with the one specified in go.mod, GoReleaser, and golangci-lint.

GitHub Actions

GitHub Actions should already be configured: this section is for reference only.

The following repository secrets must be set on GitHub Actions:

  • GH_TOKEN: A personal access token that can trigger workflows.
  • GIT_USER_NAME: The GitHub user's real name.
  • GIT_USER_EMAIL: The GitHub user's email.
  • GPG_PRIVATE_KEY: The GitHub user's GPG private key.
  • GPG_PASSPHRASE: The GitHub user's GPG passphrase.

These must be set manually.
