You can easily start with Go modules. Please see the official guide to get started.

HI @a_4_ppl_a_4_ppl,

Your project directory is wherever a go.mod file is.

For new projects, run go mod init <path-to-hosted-repository> to initialize a project. The path should be a hosted repository so that the project is accessible outside your local disk.

If your project is a library, the path is used by import statements to import packages from your library.

Call go env GOPATH to see the path to the GOPATH directory that holds compilation artifacts and cached repositories. If you have a document that says that GOPATH is the single workspace for all your Go projects, then this document is obsolete since the introduction of Go Modules.
