It should demonstrate a systems program that interacts with the file system, uses a database, and performs network traffic. It is also useful to me, since I'm using it to extract and backup all the images my family has to a cloud service.\n\nI also wanted to have some record of what a _good_ Go project looks like. It is routine for me to setup a quality Python library and deploy it on PyPi - but it's less clear about how to do that for Go. After researching other Go project libraries, this is what I came up with:\n\n- A main.go that interacted with a self-contained library and used [CLI][cli]\n- A test suite that uses [Ginkgo][ginkgo] and [Gomega](gomega)\n- A Makefile that fetches dependencies and builds locally rather than on the $GOPATH\n\nTogether I hope this demonstrates to you and future me how to best set up a Go project, especially as I may be moving away from Go programming back to other languages at least in the immediate future.\n\n### Contributing\n\nCrate is open source, and I would be happy to have you contribute! You can do so in the following ways:\n\n1. Create a Pull Request in Github: [https://github.com/bbengfort/crate](https://github.com/bbengfort/crate)\n2. Add issues or bugs to the bug tracker: [https://github.com/bbengfort/crate/issues](https://github.com/bbengfort/crate/issues)\n3. Work on a card on the dev board: [https://waffle.io/bbengfort/crate](https://waffle.io/bbengfort/crate)\n\nYou can connect with me on Twitter for other discussions: [@bbengfort](https://twitter.com/bbengfort)\n\n### Name Origin\n\ncrate\u003cbr /\u003e\nkrāt\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003csmall\u003e\u003cem\u003enoun\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/small\u003e\n\n1. a slatted wooden case used for transporting or storing goods.\n\n    \"a crate of bananas\"\n\n2. an old and dilapidated vehicle.\n\n\u003csmall\u003e\u003cem\u003everb\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/small\u003e\n\n1. pack (something) in a crate for transportation.\n\nOk, so I'm a bit of a nerd - but I was thinking about other projects like Box, Dropbox, S3, etc. Crate seemed like an appropriate name. Unfortunately there is already a [crate.io](https://crate.io/) which similarly is an elastic data store. My thing is more about storage and transportation, but hey - it's close! \n\n### Attribution\n\nCrate does a lot of work on Images, and so it's only fair to specify the attribution of those images.
