# Password Generator
**Password Generator** is a simple command-line tool written in Go that generates random passwords containing letters (both uppercase and lowercase), numbers, and special characters. It's a handy utility to create strong and secure passwords for various purposes, such as online accounts, applications, or anything that requires a secure passphrase.
## Folder Structure
The folder structure for the Password Generator project is organized as follows:
```
passwd-generator-go/
|-- main.go
|-- go.mod
|-- README.md
```

```bash
git clone https://github.com/ishanoshada/passwd-generator-go.git
```
2. Navigate to the project directory:
```bash
cd passwd-generator-go
```
3. Build and run the `main.go` file using Go:
