Learning Functional Programming in Go

Dot init features and benefits

The dot init solution will do the following:

1. Create a link to this project root directory in your MY_DEV_DIR directory.
2. Verify that you are running the correct version of Go.
3. Verify that you have a src directory (it will create one if you don't have one). 
4. Simplify references to project-local packages.

5. Verify that you have a toml config file (if you set USES_TOML_CONFIG_YN to yes). 
6. Create aliases for your convenience.
7. Verify that you have glide installed.

In step 1, it's nice to have one place to go MY_DEV_DIR, for example, ~/myprojects to see all the projects I've worked on. I can sort by date and easily delete the links to inactive projects.

Use step 2 to avoid messing with GOPATH, GOROOT, or GOBIN.
