Golang Commands

Overview  

In this blog I am going to explain about basic go command and in depth knowledge about go commands will come after this series of basic go programming end.

fallowing topic will be explained in this blog :
  • primary commands
  • help topic

Commands

Go ahead open command prompt on type go and press Enter.

Go commands

you can see all the commands and help topic that go provide.

Primary Commands 




this all are primary commands that go provide. this all are self explanatory. we have "bug" command for bug report, "clean" to clean previous projects, "install" to install packages to project.mod command needs explanation. which we will discuss on the next blog.

but the command I want to talk about is doc. if we run ''go doc <package name>'' command 
example "go doc json.decoder.decode" it will show the out put below.

go doc json.decoder.decode command out put


and if you run "go doc json.decoder" it will show the out put below.


go doc json.decoder command out put


and if you run "go doc json" it will show the out put below.

go doc json command out put


so what "go doc" command do is, it will go to the source code and show the documentation comment that has been written to help understand code and api. 

for "go doc json.decoder.decode" comment it went to the json package and decoder object and decode method and displayed  the documentation comments. 

Additional Help Topic


if you need any help regarding the commands, just run "go help <topic name>" it will provide you with the necessary information to use that command. Advance knowledge about go command will be provided in an different series of blog.
