# Go Quickstart

Each top level subdirectory of this repo contains a stub of a common project

layout - server, CLI app, etc.

They are laid out using what I consider to be best practices with the best tools

and libraries.  If you wish to suggest a replacement for a tool or library I'm

using here, feel free to file an issue, but without significant changes, I'm not

likely to change my mind.

Here's some of my choices of tools & libraries.  No tools are perfect, but these

are popular and well-tested, and in my opinion, will serve you well.

## CLI - [viper](https://github.com/spf13/viper) & [cobra](https://github.com/spf13/cobra) 

While I have a few issues with the way these libraries work, they're the

  best supported ones on the market, they make it easy to spin up a complex CLI,

  and you can mostly work around their slight wonkiness.

  

## Logging - [logrus](https://github.com/sirupsen/logrus) 

Structured logging is a good thing, and logrus is well supported and easy to

  use.  Other logging systems trade an awkward API for fewer allocations, and

  unless you're google or a trading system you shouldn't care about the speed of

  your logging system 

## Build tool - [mage](https://github.com/magefile/mage)

Users of make long ago realized the power of canonicalizing dev tasks in code.

But why use another language when you can use Go for that, too?  Mage makes it

easy to put common dev tasks at your fingertips.
