Create a directory for your Go project inside the src directory:
mkdir -p ~/go/src/github.com/yourusername/yourproject
In your repo root directory, make a new file called go.mod (this file manages
the project dependencies). In the repo folter, run:
go mod init example.com/myproject
The recommended indentation is to use tabs instead of spaces.
gofmt -w <filename>.go # -w option updates the file(s) in place
e.g.: go run 01_hello.go
