go-build: Compile, specifying the output filename.
$ go build -o ${path-to-binary} ${path-to-source-go}
try on your machine
This command "go build -o ${path-to-binary} ${path-to-source-go}" is used to compile a Go source code file into an executable binary file.
Here's what each part of the command does:
- "go build" is the Go build command that compiles the Go source code into an executable binary file.
- "-o" is a flag that specifies the output file name for the binary.
- "${path-to-binary}" is the path and name of the output binary file you want to generate. It should be replaced with the desired path and file name.
- "${path-to-source-go}" is the path to the main Go source code file that you want to compile. It should be replaced with the actual path to your Go source code file.
Overall, this command tells the Go compiler (go build) to compile the specified Go source code file (${path-to-source-go}) into an executable binary file with the specified name and path (${path-to-binary}).

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
