FreePad | A free self-hosted pad written in go
Don’t. It’s obsolete. Just use debug.ReadBuildInfo()
-
Makefile and Dockerfile best practices
That’s obsolete. See https://github.com/carlmjohnson/versioninfo. Even if it weren’t, Make is an inappropriate tool. Because it is based on file modtimes, it can’t react to git hash changes. You just have rerun the steps every time, at which point Bash is a less awful language.

How to embed version when `go install`-ing (since you cannot use go:generate or ldflags -X)
Go 1.18 updates the debug info to also include the git status of the build. See https://github.com/carlmjohnson/versioninfo
-
Go 1.18 - debug/info - why not include the current git tag?
I use this trick in my versioninfo package. Obviously, it can't give you other tags, but most of the time the tag you want to know about is v1.2.3 anyway, and since tags are mutable but the Go sum DB is immutable, this is safer than just saying what tag was on disk at build time.

Getting excited for Go 1.18's lesser known features
I subscribed to GH activity for the correspondence friendliness-enhancing library by the author:
https://github.com/carlmjohnson/versioninfo/
The primary motivation curiousity to learn if this becomes "the [best/default] way" folks reach for when leveraging BuildInfo to deliver explicit binary versioning.

Working with JSON in Go: A Comprehensive Guide
And do not forget to use go-testdeep and its JSON operator to test JSON content: :)

Libraries you use most of your projects?
TestDeep. I got pretty used to many of the matchers and they simplify my life now.

Large repo switched to new go1.19 doc comments
To see the result on a large repository, I adapted the comments of go-testdeep to fully take advantage of these new features.

Patterns for unit testing in Go?
Check go-testdeep using its operators, it is very easy to do table driven tests, see https://goplay.space/#Z91D72aH3Sc for an example

Do you prefer go-convey over golang's t.Run?
And of course go-testdeep which colorizes the error reports with simple but accurate diff.
