Project Structure and Main Packages in Go Projects

Project structure in Go projects plays a crucial role in organizing code effectively. The CMD folder is utilized to separate binaries and create distinct directories based on the intended binaries, facilitating a clear separation between different aspects of the project. While having separate binaries controlled by CMD can be beneficial, the inability to import Maine can pose challenges when wanting to test multiple binaries. Despite minor inconveniences, structuring the project with a clear division between binaries and other packages remains a common practice.
