How to log messages to the console and a file both in golang?

Question

I can direct all messages to log.txt file:

if err != nil {
    panic(er         


        

Answer 1

Use an io.MultiWriter

MultiWriter creates a writer that duplicates its writes to all the provided writers, similar to the Unix tee(1) command

mw := io.MultiWriter(os.Stdout, logFile)
log.SetOutput(mw)
