Libraries for CLI and console applications
I’ve used multiple libraries over the last two years but less is more and go-arg feels like something that would be in the stdlib: https://github.com/alexflint/go-arg

Tools besides Go for a newbie
IDE: use whatever make you productive. I personally use vscode. VCS: git, as golang communities use github heavily as base for many libraries. AFAIK Linter: use staticcheck for linting as it looks like mostly used linting tool in go, supported by many also. In Vscode it will be recommended once you install go plugin. Libraries/Framework: actually the standard libraries already included many things you need, decent enough for your day-to-day development cycles(e.g. `net/http`). But here are things for extra: - Struct fields validator: validator - Http server lib: chi router , httprouter , fasthttp (for non standard http implementations, but fast) - Web Framework: echo , gin , fiber , beego , etc - Http client lib: most already covered by stdlib(net/http), so you rarely need extra lib for this, but if you really need some are: resty - CLI: cobra - Config: godotenv , viper - DB Drivers: sqlx , postgre , sqlite , mysql - nosql: redis , mongodb , elasticsearch - ORM: gorm , entgo , sqlc(codegen) - JS Transpiler: gopherjs - GUI: fyne - grpc: grpc - logging: zerolog - test: testify , gomock , dockertest - and many others you can find here

Network Error Handling
We have faced several network issue on our backend application written in golang with resty for inter service calls. We have seen large amount of network errors like `EOF, unexpected EOF, http: stream closed` because of which our APIs fail. Have you faced similar issue and what were the solutions you've implemented.

Best packages?
Go-resty makes it a lot easier to create a http client and much more readable for developers.

How do I see the full details of an http request I send?
I don't use the simple http whenever i need to call any API from code . I just use resty its fairly easy to use and logging requests with it is quite easy

I used to use the standard http lib, but now I switched to resty https://github.com/go-resty/resty
What are some alternatives?
When comparing go-arg and resty you can also consider the following projects:
argparse - Argparse for golang. Just because `flag` sucks
gorequest - GoRequest -- Simplified HTTP client ( inspired by nodejs SuperAgent )
flag - Flag is a simple but powerful command line option parsing library for Go support infinite level subcommand
sling - A Go HTTP client library for creating and sending API requests
cobra - A Commander for modern Go CLI interactions
go-retryablehttp - Retryable HTTP client in Go
go-flags - go command line option parser
hub - A command-line tool that makes git easier to use with GitHub.
viper - Go configuration with fangs
fastlz - Wrap over FastLz for GoLang
docopt.go - A command-line arguments parser that will make you smile.
Gin - Gin is a HTTP web framework written in Go (Golang). It features a Martini-like API with much better performance -- up to 40 times faster. If you need smashing performance, get yourself some Gin.
