 Create a folder with name of the project e.g. project-name.

$ mkdir project-name

Go inside the created project-name folder.

$ cd project-name

Create a module or mod file using following command.

$ go mod init project-name

This command will create go.mod file. This file is the manifest file of the project that contains info of your project such as project name, Go version, dependencies of the project and so on. Following is the content as of now we’ve in this go.mod file.

module go-example 

go 1.21.5

We don’t have any dependency related information in this file yet. Because, our project yet not consuming any third-party package.

Create a file with name main.go and write following code in it.

package main

import "net/http"

import "github.com/gin-gonic/gin"

func main() {

  r := gin.Default()

  r.GET("/", func (c *gin.Context) {

    c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{

      "message": "hello, world",

    })

  })

  r.Run()

}
