Makefiles For Golang Projects - Save Time And Build Faster!

Показать описание

In this tutorial, we delve into the powerful world of build automation with Makefiles in Go (Golang) programming. Discover the essentials of using task runners for efficient software development, including how to streamline the process of compiling, running, testing, and cleaning up your code. Learn the best practices for development workflows and gain insight into how Makefiles can serve as an invaluable tool for automating the myriad of tasks developers encounter daily. By the conclusion of this video, you'll understand the enduring value of Makefiles in a modern development environment and how they contribute to coding best practices. Don't miss the chance to see why Makefiles, combined with Golang's cross-compilation capabilities, are a robust solution for developers looking to optimize their build processes and why they're widely embraced within the Go community.

I love make. It's pre installed on most unix-like OSs and its a nice consistent way to orchestrate stuff across languages/technologies.

Thanks for sharing. I agree Makefile is very useful and recently I came across the `just` command which is a Makefile compatible alternative with a bunch more options (task docs, real default task definition, etc) which makes this workflow even better.

Thks for the video, great tip. I put you a 👍. I did a minor change to your Makefile:
BINARY_NAME=$(notdir $(shell pwd))
so that the binary takes the name of the folder where the Makefile is located and so I can reuse it without changes.

Make is a lifesaver for me when I do more involved backend projects in Go. A simple '$ make' bundles and minifies TailwindCSS, bundles and minifies Javascript for HTMX, AlpineJS and some special ‘homegrown’ Javascript elements, compiles one binary version for local testing and one for the use in Docker and builds a Docker container for cloud deployment -- all with one simple CLI command and a number of well-structured dependencies. Good luck trying all this without a well-written Makefile!

Thanks for the video. I use Makefiles with cespare/reflex for hot reloading the server every time I save changes. It's very easy to do, and makes life easier

fantastic video! I didn't know Go had a native make capability, the syntax is simple as always :)

There are some really interesting-looking features you have at the bottom of your VS Code instance, like the time spent coding and building. Would you be willing to share a list of those?
