This is a basic layout for Go application projects. It represents the most common directory structure with a number of small enhancements along with several supporting directories common to any real world application.
The directory name for each application should match the name of the executable you want to have (e.g., `/cmd/myapp`).
Don't put a lot of code in the application directory unless you think that code can be imported and used in other projects. If this is the case then the code should live in the `/pkg` directory.
It's common to have a small main function that imports and invokes the code from the `/internal` and `/pkg` directories.
Put your actual application code in the `/internal/app` directory (e.g., `/internal/app/myapp`) and the code shared by those apps in the `/internal/pkg` directory (e.g., `/internal/pkg/myprivlib`).
* [Go Report Card](https://goreportcard.com/) - It will scan your code with `gofmt`, `go vet`, `gocyclo`, `golint`, `ineffassign`, `license` and `misspell`. Replace `github.com/golang-standards/project-layout` with your project reference.
* [GoDoc](http://godoc.org) - It will provide online version of your GoDoc generated documentation. Change the link to point to your project.
* Release - It will show the latest release number for your project. Change the github link to point to your project.
