What problem does it solve?

Go CLI development often lacks a standardized project layout, version injection, and release wiring, leading to inconsistencies and slower delivery.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Canonical project structure: main.go → cmd/ → internal/ with clean separation of concerns.
  • Version injection and build metadata wired into the binary via ldflags and goreleaser configuration.
  • Release packaging and distribution setup for multi-platform binaries (Homebrew + tar.gz / darwin linux builds).
  • Guidance for config wiring (viper), signal handling, and testability.

Quick Start

Scaffold a new Go CLI project following the canonical main.go → cmd/ → internal/ structure and wire version injection.
