Go modules by example

Go modules by example is a series of work-along guides that look to help explain how Go modules work and how to get things done. They are designed to complement the official Go documentation and the Go modules wiki.

The guides are being released in no particular order and will instead be curated into a more cogent order/structure (in conjunction with the modules wiki) at a later date.

The release-ordered list of guides:

• How to use submodules
• Using modules to manage vendor
• Creating a module download cache "vendor"
• Using gohack to "hack" on dependencies
• Migrating Buffalo from dep to go modules
• Tools as dependencies
• Cyclic module dependencies
• Visually analysing module dependencies
• Semantic import versioning by example
• Options for repository structure with multiple major versions
• Using gobin to install/run tools
• Using go list, go mod why and go mod graph
• Using apidiff to determine API compatibility

WIP guides:

• The go modules tour (a rewrite of the original vgo tour)
• Using go modules with gopkg.in
• Using a package that has not been converted to go modules
• Example of backwards compatibility in Go 1.10 with semantic import paths
• Another example of package/project that has not yet been converted to a module
• Forking a project which has not yet been converted to a Go module
• ...
