How do I set up CI with GitHub Actions in Go?

Setting up Continuous Integration (CI) for Go projects using GitHub Actions is an excellent way to automate your testing and deployment processes. Below is a simple guide on how to achieve this.

# Create a new workflow file in your GitHub repository
mkdir -p .github/workflows
touch .github/workflows/go.yml

# Edit go.yml with the following contents:
name: Go CI

on:
  push:
    branches: [ main ]
  pull_request:
    branches: [ main ]

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
    - name: Checkout code
      uses: actions/checkout@v2

    - name: Set up Go
      uses: actions/setup-go@v2
      with:
        go-version: '1.17'

    - name: Install dependencies
      run: go get -v ./...

    - name: Run tests
      run: go test -v ./...
    

Make sure to customize the `go-version`, and adjust the job steps according to your project's requirements.
