I have problems setting up my first go project. I want to keep my packages out of my git repository.
go get installs my packages by default in my /src folder. This way I can't simply ignore a folder to ignore all packages.
Can I install all my packages in for example /pkg and how would I do this? Is there a Go way of solving this issue?
In large open source projects written in Go like for example Kubernetes I cannot find a /src directory.
This sounds like an issue in your workspace.
Your workspace directory should look like this, but your workspace should not be the root of your repo.
/bin //<--compiled binaries
/src
/adomain.com/yourstuff //<--these folders are where your repo root should be
/gihub.com/otherstuff //<--these folders are your dependencies
/pkg //<-- installed packages / program files
