git clone https://github.com/RyotaNakajimakun/blog.git
cd ginblog
go get .

Copy sample config cp config/config.json.example config/config.json, create postgresql database, modify config/config.json accordingly. Install npm, gulp, run npm install in the project directory.

Type go run main.go to launch web server, gulp to rebuild assets.

make build

Upload ginblog binary config, views and public directory to your server.

/config

Contains application configuration file.

/controllers

All your controllers that serve defined routes.

/models

You database models.

/public

It contains all web-site static files

/system

Core functions and structs.

/views

Your views using standard Go template system.

main.go

This file starts your web application, contains routes definition & some custom middlewares.

I assume you have followed installation instructions and you have ginblog installed in your GOPATH location.

Let's say I want to create Amazing Website. I create new GitHub repository https://github.com/denisbakhtin/amazingblog (of course replace that with your own repository).

Now I have to prepare ginblog. First thing is that I have to delete its .git directory.

I issue:

rm -rf src/github.com/RyotaNakajimakun/blog/.git

Then I want to replace all references from github.com/denisbakhtin/amazingblog to github.com/denisbakhtin/amazingblog:

grep -rl 'github.com/RyotaNakajimakun/blog' ./ | xargs sed -i 's/github.com\/denisbakhtin\/ginblog/github.com\/denisbakhtin\/amazingblog/g'

Now I have to move all ginblog files to the new location:

mv src/github.com/RyotaNakajimakun/blog/ src/github.com/denisbakhtin/amazingblog

And push it to my new repository at GitHub:

cd src/github.com/denisbakhtin/amazingblog
git init
git add --all .
git commit -m "Amazing Blog First Commit"
git remote add origin https://github.com/denisbakhtin/amazingblog.git
git push -u origin master

You can now go back to your GOPATH and check if everything is ok:

go install github.com/denisbakhtin/amazingblog

And that's it.

For Continuous Development a good option is to install fresh - https://github.com/gravityblast/fresh Then simply run fresh in the project directory.

To rebuild assets on change install npm, run npm install and then npm run watch. Run npm run build to build assets for production.
