Updating a go asset path for Git forks

Question

So I have this line in my code:

base := build.Default.GOPATH + "/src/github.com/skuzzymiglet/point/"

Later, I use it like this:

script, err := ioutil.ReadFile(base + "script.js")

The problem with this is if someone forks my repo, it will reference my assets not theirs, and possibly end up with an error.

How should I go about solving this problem?

Answer 1

it will reference my assets not theirs, and possibly end up with an error.

Then:

• either that asset must be part of the repository being forked
• or it must be generated or downloaded as a dependency, for instance part of a Go module.
