Configure project for IDE (optional)
In this section you will configure the project in order to make use of GoLand integrated development environment's (IDE) features like syntax highlighting and code completion.
1. Place repository to the GOPATH
The repository has to be placed under src directory in GOPATH. The default location for Linux and macOS users is ~/go, while for Windows it is %USERPROFILE%\go.
Move the previously cloned repository or clone it again to the <GOPATH>/src/github.com/docker/docker directory.
2. Configure IDE
Open the <GOPATH>/src/github.com/docker/docker directory in GoLand. Then open the settings (Ctrl+Alt+S) and change two settings:
- Disable Go modules integration
- Disable using system environment's GOPATH
Custom GOPATH
In case the custom GOPATH is used (for example to have multiple copies of the cloned repository), it has to be configured in the settings as well:
Where to go next
Congratulations, you have finished configuring project to work with the IDE. In the next section you'll learn how to set up and work in a Moby development container.
