Installation

To use this tool, make sure you have Go installed on your system. Then, follow these steps:

1. Clone this repository or copy the setup.go script to your local machine.

Usage

To create a new Go project with Gin and GORM, run the following command:

go-create-project new <project-name>

Replace <project-name> with your desired project name.

This command will set up a new project directory, initialize the Go module, install dependencies, create a .env file, and generate the necessary files for a Gin and GORM-based project using PostgreSQL.

Make sure to set the DATABASE_URL environment variable in the .env file with your PostgreSQL connection string before running the project.

Environment Variables

The .env file in your project directory should contain the following environment variable:

DATABASE_URL=host=localhost user=postgres dbname=<project-name>_db sslmode=disable password=yourpassword

Make sure is your actual project name after creating the project.
