Wrapping Up
Explore the various methods to distribute Go applications, including binary and source code distribution. Understand cross-compilation strategies to build for different operating systems, use build tags for conditional builds, create container images, and apply Go's testing tools to ensure consistent and reliable deployments. This lesson consolidates your knowledge to package and share Go CLI tools effectively.
We'll cover the following...
