Flexibility in Structure of Go Projects
In Go projects, there is no standardized or consensus approach to structuring the code. Individual developers have the flexibility to organize their projects in a way that suits their needs. However, one common practice involves creating a CMD folder at the root, with subfolders representing executable names. Each subfolder contains a main.go file. This approach allows for clear identification of projects that produce executables and can be used as libraries.
