Normally Golang projects on Github are consumed by go install when there is a src folder at the root of the project. Right now I have a Git repo structured like so:
project/
lang/
typescript/
java/
golang/
src/
pkg/
is there a way to use go install against this git repo? Something like this:
go install 'github.com/org/project' --dir 'lang/golang'
anybody know if this is possible and how? Perhaps I can use go get first to get the right directory, and then go install after that?
Update - perhaps one solution is to use go bundle to package the library, and then install the go library with a url to the file?
from the go documentation go command
after using
$ go get github.com/google/codesearch/index
$ go get github.com/petar/GoLLRB/llrb
Both of these projects are now downloaded and installed into $HOME/go, which contains the two directories src/github.com/google/codesearch/index/ and src/github.com/petar/GoLLRB/llrb/, along with the compiled packages (in pkg/) for those libraries and their dependencies.
Set GOPATH environment variable to the project/lang/golang directory and of your project (probably with a fully qualified path, i.e. one starting with / on unix-like systems). go get will install to the correct location. Other commands like go build/go install will also work properly.

You can also run the go help gopath command for more documentation.
