A Go command-line generator that scaffolds a lean, opinionated web project skeleton with preselected libraries (Gorilla, sqlx, logrus, Viper). It offers core, PostgreSQL, and MySQL templates and is explicitly not a web framework.

Use cases

• generate a new Go web project skeleton
• bootstrap a Go web app with PostgreSQL
• scaffold a Go REST API project with sessions and auth
• create a Go web project with Docker and Vagrant setup
• start a minimal Go web server without a full framework
• generate a Go project with database migrations configured

When to choose

• you want an opinionated, prewired Go web project instead of assembling libraries yourself
• you prefer Gorilla, sqlx, and minimal tooling over a full framework
• you need a quick skeleton with bcrypt auth, sessions, and migrations included

When to avoid

• you need a maintained, actively updated scaffold (last release 2020, uses deprecated libraries like tylerb/graceful)
• you want a full-featured web framework rather than a one-time generator
• you develop on Windows and need the PostgreSQL template
• you prefer choosing your own stack of libraries
