Is there a way to have reusable pathing for imports on Go projects?

I am very new at Go, and need a bit of help with a way to make import pathing more distributable between my team.

Currently at the top of one of my Go files, I have an import, say "github.teamName.com/teamMemberA/HeartThrob/c"

I forked his project to my own name and downloaded it and got some pretty obvious import errors.

MY path to the file it is trying to import is the following: "github.teamName.com/myName/HeartThrob/c"

This pathing change is because I am pulling the project from my own forked repo.

What is a way I can go about fixing this? Is relative pathing possible? I can't put all the Go files into the same directory due to the size of the project and some obvious places for separation.

Disclaimer: New to Go AND Git (My forked approach is team-mandated though)

Solution

  • Assuming that GOPATH contains a single element, do this:

    $ mkdir -p $GOPATH/github.teamName.com/teamMemberA
$ cd $GOPATH/github.teamName.com/teamMemberA
$ git clone github.teamName.com/myName/HeartThrob
$ cd HeartThrob/c
$ go install

    An alternative approach is:

    $ go get github.teamName.com/teamMemberA/HeartThrob/c
$ cd $GOPATH/github.teamName.com/teamMemberA/HeartThrob
$ git remote add fork [email protected]/HeartThrob.git

    Hack a way and push to fork.
