Will effective go helps? It has all the rules, structure, practices, etc. in it.

Something important is to use go module over the classical distribution methods like GOPATH and vendor. Documentations are available at:

  1. https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules
  2. https://blog.golang.org/using-go-modules
  3. https://blog.golang.org/migrating-to-go-modules

We normally have tools that handle all the systematic practices on-the-job like:

  1. go fmt that handles source codes formatting.
  2. golangci-lint that handles all sort of static analysis.
  3. advanced go test (with coverage, etc.)

If you need to model some references:

  1. https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes
  2. https://github.com/golang/go/tree/master/src (make sure it is inside src, since go package discourage the use of src)

If you want, you can read up some additional materials:

  1. https://dave.cheney.net/practical-go/presentations/qcon-china.html - some good practices
  2. https://sites.google.com/view/chewkeanho/guides/go/testing - setting up test tools
