Learning Functional Programming in Go

Running the init script

To get our project ready for development, in our terminal, just run . init.

Note that source and "."  do the same thing; they run the following command in the context of the current shell environment.

Note that our current directory path is shorter. We're in a newly linked directory. It's a link file in MY_DEV_DIR. A benefit or side-effect of running this script is that we can go to our MY_DEV_DIR to see what projects we've worked on lately. It's also nice not to have such a long path name in our terminal (assuming we display our full, current directory path in our shell prompt).
