Refactor the main.go file to take advantage of our Cobra root command, then test multi-git to ensure our refactoring didn't break anything. At the end of the lesson, multi-git will be a full-fledged Cobra application.

Refactor the main.go file

With the root command fully implemented, we need to refactor the main.go file, so it executes the Cobra root command instead of all the work it’s currently doing.

The location of main.go should also change. At the moment, it is in cmd/mg/main.go, but Cobra applications have a main.go file at the top-level directory of the project.
