Installation

GoFast provides a convenient CLI tool to effortlessly set up your Go projects. Follow the steps below to install the tool on your system.

Binary Installation

To install the GoFast CLI tool as a binary, run the following command:

go install github.com/mahibulhaque/gofast@latest

This command installs the Gofast binary, automatically binding it to your $GOPATH.

Note - If you are using Zsh, you will need to add it manually to your .zshrc file.

After running the installation command, you need to update your PATH environment variable. To do this, you need to find out the correct GOPATH for your system. You can do this by running the following command: Check your GOPATH.

go env GOPATH

Then, add the following line to your ~/.zshrc file:

GOPATH=$HOME/go PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:$GOPATH/bin

Save the changes to your ~/.zshrc file by running the following command:

source ~/.zshrc

Building and Installing from Source

If you prefer to build and install GoFast directly from the source code, you can follow these steps:

Clone the repository from Github:

git clone https://github.com/mahibulhaque/gofast

Build the Gofast binary:

go build

Install in your $PATH to make it accessible system-wide:

go install

Verify the installation by running:

gofast version

This should display the version information of the installed Gofast CLI.

Now you have successfully built and installed GoFast from the source code.
