I am creating Go command-line app and I need to generate some stuff in the current directory (the directory which the user execute the commands from)
to get the pwd
I need to use
os.Getwd()
but this give me path like
/Users/s05333/go/src/appcmd
and I need path like this
/Users/s05333/go/src/
which option I've in this case? Omit the last string after the /
or there is better way in Go?
Take a look at the filepath
package, particularly filepath.Dir
:
wd,err := os.Getwd()
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
parent := filepath.Dir(wd)
Per the docs:
Dir returns all but the last element of path, typically the path's directory.
