Build

By the end of this step, you'll have a simple working program in Go!

Throughout this project, we'll suggest file names and locations to keep your code organized. If you're unsure, follow our structure. You can organize files differently, but keep package main in the project root so the CLI tests can use go run ..

Assignment

Create a main.go file. It should be part of package main in the root of your project and have a main() function that just prints the text "Hello, World!".
Create a Go module in the root of your project. Here's the command:

go mod init MODULE_NAME

I recommend naming the module by its remote Git location (you should store all your projects in Git!). For example, my GitHub name is wagslane so my module name might be github.com/wagslane/pokedexcli.

Build your program:

go build

The executable will be named after the directory containing the main.go file, hence mine was pokedexcli. You should .gitignore the executable.

Run your program:

./pokedexcli

It should print "Hello, World!" to the console!

Run and submit the CLI tests from the root of the repo.
