So I’m taking a tour through go’s stdlib in order to get a more comprehensive understanding of the library. I’ve always liked the site Learn X in Y Minutes, and decided as I went through this to write out functions and code in a similar manner. The blog post has split out the comments into Markdown, but if you just wish to see the code, you can do so on github. https://thorntonmc.github.io/posts/misc/2022-01-12-splitting-out-git-repos/ Wed, 12 Jan 2022 00:00:00 +0000 https://thorntonmc.github.io/posts/misc/2022-01-12-splitting-out-git-repos/ One thing I’ve been tasked with working on recently is splitting out microservices from a monorepo into their own separate repos.

Considering I’ve been doing more work that might be classified under this role, I figured I’d give it a try. Lets take a look at the README.md, I’ve reworked it a bit for brevity, you can see the original on github, along with all of the code described in this post:
