Sprinternship 2023 Challenge Project

Setup Your Local Go Environment

Go to https://github.com/bitly/sprinterns2023

Click the “<> Code” Dropdown button and toggle to SSH Copy the url: [email protected]:bitly/sprinterns2023.git

Open a Terminal window on your computer. If you have a Mac, this should be pretty straightforward (although we may need to install Git if you haven’t used it before). If you’re on a windows computer, we may need to install a git specific terminal - we’ll figure it out together!

$ cd (to get into your home directory

$ git clone [email protected]:bitly/sprinterns2023.git

If you get permissioning errors (about not being able to pull from this repo - we’ll need to take some steps to allow you to interact with git via SSH).

Once you’ve successfully cloned the repository, if you do an ls -la command in your terminal, you should now see a “sprinterns2023” directory listed!

Now we’ll deal with installing dependencies $ go mod tidy

If you do not already have homebrew installed, you can do so by running the following command in your terminal: /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

We also need to install our database - MySQL $ brew install mysql

$ brew services start mysql

$ mysql_secure_installation - set the password to admin. You shouldn't enforce a strong password here because otherwise it'll reject admin. If you can't get it to accept admin, just put in a strong password then:

$ mysql -u root -p $ UPDATE mysql.user SET authentication_string=null WHERE User='root';

$ FLUSH PRIVILEGES; $ exit;

$ mysql -u root $ ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH caching_sha2_password BY 'admin';

To Start the MySQL Server: $ mysql.server start

To Stop the MySQL Server: $ mysql.server stop

To access the DB command line: $ mysql -u root -p (then enter the password you created when prompted)

Once the dependencies have been installed, you’ll be able to run the server/app with: $ go run main.go
