9 years ago Hi,
Thank you for feedback. With Go you can have applications outside of the GOPATH that compile just fine. As for how things should be created there are many options, varying with the different layouts that one could have:
- a single single GOPATH entry: the project could be inside or outside the GOPATH
- multiple GOPATH entries : the project could be in any of the entries or outside of the GOPATH
- a common GOPATH and separate folders for each of the projects using it
- using 3rd party tools like Godeps and have a single entry per project with a custom GOPATH into the vendor dependency folder
- I'm pretty sure I'm missing something now
As you said, it's that could be improved in the docs mostly, so any help in that regard would be useful. If you have any suggestion on how to improve presenting the above options / onboarding people, we'd be happy to hear. Looking forward for your thoughts on this.

This might be more a documentation issue than a technical one.
https://golang.org/doc/code.html is opinionated about how your go workspace, including your source code, should be laid out. Likewise where your git repo should go. Intellij Idea defaults new go projects to ~/IdeaProjects/${go_project} and doesn't adhere that layout. So is it really a matter that when I create a new project I should just put it in the right place, like ${GOPATH}/src/${package}? Did I not read something tutorial? I just started using this without really reading a thing. A "hello world" thing worked after a little bit of fiddling with configuring GOROOT on Ubuntu.
