Go Run

Inside hellogo, create a new file called main.go.

Conventionally, the file in the main package that contains the main() function is called main.go.

Paste the following code into your file:

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
	fmt.Println("hello world")
}

Run the code

go run main.go

The go run command is used to quickly compile and run a Go package. The compiled binary is not saved in your working directory. Use go build instead to compile production executables.

I rarely use go run other than to quickly do some testing or debugging.
