How to import local packages without gopath

Question

I\'ve used GOPATH but for this current issue I\'m facing it does not help. I want to be able to create packages that are specific to a project:

Answer 1

To add a "local" package to your project, add a folder (for example "package_name"). And put your implementation files in that folder.

src/github.com/GithubUser/myproject/
 ├── main.go
 └───package_name
       └── whatever_name1.go
       └── whatever_name2.go

In your package main do this:

import "github.com/GithubUser/myproject/package_name"

Where package_name is the folder name and it must match the package name used in files whatever_name1.go and whatever_name2.go. In other words all files with a sub-directory should be of the same package.

You can further nest more subdirectories as long as you specify the whole path to the parent folder in the import.
