CLI

Run the Go program

go run main.go

Initialize a Go module

go mod init <URL_of_repo>

• URL of repo is the convention, but not a requirement as long as it's unique

Compile the code into an executable

run go build in the project's directory

Compile code into an executable and put into bin/ directory

go install

• note: if our project uses 3rd party dependencies (ie. not from standard lib), then it would compile and cache those dependencies into a package directory.
• note: the bin/ directory here is a sibling directory to the project's src/ directory
