Development

I work with a separate GOPATH for open source work. In the folder holding the gopath src file, I have a GOPATH_source_me.sh script with the following contents:

echo "you should source me, not execute me! run >> 'source GOPATH_source_me'"
export GOPATH=/Users/jaw/me/Development/go-opensource-work
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin
echo $GOPATH

That topmost folder contains:

>ls -a /Users/jaw/me/Development/go-opensource-work
.                       bin
..                      pkg
.idea                   src
GOPATH_source_me.sh     

When I want to start working on this, I source that . GOPATH_source_me.sh.

I use IntelliJ with the golang plugin.

I run go install ./... to install this binary in bin/ (and see my PATH edit above so it would include that bin/ folder).

See the Makefile for generating, building, and running.

I scp this script to my server I eventually run this on. See the crontab work in the capistrano script.
