How to embed files into Golang binaries?

Question

I have some text file that I read from my Go program. I\'d like to ship a single executable, without supplying that text file additionally. How do I embed it into compilatio

Use go-bindata. From the README:

This tool converts any file into managable Go source code. Useful for embedding binary data into a go program. The file data is optionally gzip compressed before being converted to a raw byte slice.
