Introduction

This is just a page on go command options

go help <command>
// e.g.
go help test

Building and Running

For me I have set up my PATH to include go and my GOROOT to be the parent directory of the src folder.

export PATH=/usr/local/go/bin:$PATH
cd blah1/blah2/src/..
export GOPATH=`pwd`

Compiles and run a program without leaving artefacts.

go run src/cmds/hello/hello.go

Compiles but does not run a program. Given the tree

This command will build the library but not produce anything.

go build hello

This command will build the binary and produce a binary

go build cmds/hello

Adding the -i forces the intermediate files to be created on disk in the pkg directory

go build -i cmds/hello
