gonew fork

I forked gonew to add a few features I needed. The problem in original gonew package is that it assumes the project source path is same as module name in the go.mod file.

This is not always the case. For example, I have a project as github.com/username/module-name but module name in go.mod is username.com/module-name.

When I use gonew github.com/username/module-name new-module to create a new project, it creates the project but the import paths in .go files are wrong. They remains as username.com/module-name. Because it tries to replace github.com/username/module-name with new-module which is not the module name and not using in import paths. This fork fixes that issue by adding new command line flags.

Installation

go install github.com/anilsenay/gonew@latest

Usage

gonew github.com/username/module-name new-module

Flags

-srcmod

gonew -srcmod="username.com/module-name" github.com/username/module-name new-module

if you use srcmod, it will get module from github.com/username/module-name but module name in go.mod will be used as username.com/module-name. So gonew will replace username.com/module-name with new-module in .go files.

-dstmod

gonew -srcmod="username.com/module-name" -dstmod="username.com/some-module" github.com/username/module-name new-module

if you use dstmod, it will create folder as new-module but module name in go.mod will be username.com/some-module.
