Gok (cli)

Gok Introduction

Gok is a command line based tool to allow Golang developers to create a project, within which golang services and gateways can be written and configured for deployment to Google's Cloud Platform (GCP), specifically Google Kubernetes Engine.

The intention is to consolidate Kubernetes configuration for services into a single convention. The aim is to encourage teams to use a single convention to increase productivity and decrease learning curve for new team members.

CLI Introduction

This repo defines the implementation for the CLI subsystem of Gok. It also serves as the home for usage documentation for the Gok tool.
