How do I publish a module to a VCS?

To publish a module to a Version Control System (VCS) in Go, you need to follow a structured approach which includes initializing your module, setting up version control repositories, and using appropriate commands to push your code. Below is a step-by-step guide including an example.

Steps to Publish a Go Module to a VCS

1. Initialize your Go module: Use the command go mod init to create a new module.
2. Write your Go code: Create `.go` files in your module directory.
3. Set up a VCS: Initialize a Git repository in your module directory using git init.
4. Add your files to the VCS: Use git add . to stage your files.
5. Commit your changes: Use git commit -m "Initial commit" to commit your changes.
6. Push to a remote repository: Use git remote add origin to link your local repo to the remote and then git push -u origin main to push your code.

Example

    // Initialize your module
    go mod init example.com/my-module

    // Use Git to publish
    git init
    git add .
    git commit -m "Initial commit"
    git remote add origin https://github.com/user/my-module.git
    git push -u origin main
