[META] Introduction 👋

[moul]

I regularly use this template for my different projects.
The root README.md is also a template file, so this issue is used to as README.md replacement :)

This template is personal and strongly coupled to myself with my name everywhere, it won't be a real nightmare to replace my name with yours, but I suggest you keep this repo as a reference, pick up your favorite ideas, and do one for yourself :)

What I'm proud of this repo is that it fits with most of my needs with very minimal changes so I can have my project set up in a few minutes.

FYI, here is the command I run just after creating a new repo based on this template:

for file in $(git grep golang-repo-template | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u); do
    sed -i'' s/golang-repo-template/NEWPROJECT/g $file
done

And if the repo is a library without any binary, I've additional things to do, i.e.:

• removing some files: Dockerfile, package.json, .goreleaser.yml
• updating some others: Makefile, .github/workflows/*.yml

That's it :)

Btw, feel free to comment this issue or open a new one if you have things to share, questions, suggestions, anything 👋

Thanks for your work! I will be using it in my module but I have a question. GitHub Action badge is not working for me. It just shows blank for a temporary solution. I was able to added the badge from other source.

My docs for go.dev.pkg is also broken. See Delta456/box-cli-maker#9

Hope you will be able to give a solution!

Thanks!

Hi @Delta456

Thanks for your work! I will be using it in my module, but I have a question. GitHub Action badge is not working for me. It just shows blank for a temporary solution. I was able to add the badge from another source.

You need to replace CI from my README.md to Box CLI Maker

Here is the working one: [![CI](https://github.com/Delta456/box-cli-maker/workflows/Box%20CLI%20Maker/badge.svg)](https://github.com/Delta456/box-cli-maker/actions?query=workflow%3A"Box+CLI+Maker")

My docs for go.dev.pkg is also broken. See Delta456/box-cli-maker#9

That's because pkg.go.dev is still linking to your version 1.2.0, you need to "tell" pkg.go.dev that you now have a new version, you can do it by using go get github.com/Delta456/[email protected] with GOPROXY=https://proxy.golang.org/ or just make a curl against the index.

If you give a look at my release github action workflow, you can see that the last step is to make it automatically from the CI -> https://github.com/moul/golang-repo-template/blob/master/.github/workflows/release.yml#L49-L56

Something/someone needs to call this URL: curl https://proxy.golang.org/github.com/Delta456/box-cli-maker/@v/v1.3.1.info

I just gave a try and I think there is a strange behavior due to the uppercase letter in your GitHub nickname, basically:

• This doesn't work: https://proxy.golang.org/github.com/Delta456/box-cli-maker/@v/v1.2.0.info
• This works: https://proxy.golang.org/github.com/delta456/box-cli-maker/@v/v1.2.0.info

I'm sorry but I have no idea why this happens, the strange thing is that https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/Delta456/box-cli-maker?tab=doc is working but https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/Delta456/box-cli-maker?tab=doc isn't

I don't have this uppercase issue by myself so I won't pass more time on this, but I hope I helped you a little bit anyway, good luck!

I think I will lowercase my username and try again. Hope it does not break my links which are given everywhere.

Thanks for helping!

@moul Heads up. My issue is solved. Thanks for your help!
