I will start by copying the content of https://github.com/kashifsoofi/blog-code-samples/tree/main/movies-api-with-go-chi-and-memory-store, placing it in a new folder movies-api-with-go-chi-and-mysql and updating module name in go.mod to match the new folder and updating in source files where its used. This will usually be the root of your git repo and will not be as elaborate as this.
