9 Pushing to GitHub
Before we do this it is a good idea to use go vet.
9.1 Use go vet
The go vet command will double check your code for common errors.
This tool won’t keep you from making huge errors in logic, or from creating buggy code. But it does catch some common errors quite nicely. It’s a great idea to get in the habit of running go vet your code base before you commit it to a source repository.
9.2 Make a new repository on GitHub
Make use of the guide - Make a new repository on GitHub, to set up your repository (repo). I named it redditnews.
In your local redditnews folder, create two files README.md and LICENSE.txt as follows:
Program README.md
An Internal Project: redditnews
-------------------------------
[](http://www.babygopher.org)
These projects specifications were given to a "Baby Gopher".
> "I am keen to be abreast with what's happening in the **Golang** world. To that end,
> we will write a command-line program (**`redditnews.go`**) that fetches and displays
> the latest headlines from the golang page on Reddit.
>
> The program will:
>
> * make an HTTP request to the Reddit API.
> * decode the JSON response into a Go data structure, and
> * display each link's author, score, URL and title.
>
> We will then be building a _bare-bones_ News Reader package (**`redditnews`**) that
> gives us the latest news and headlines from the Golang Sub-Reddit, using Reddit's
> API.
>
The "Baby Gopher" built this package and documented his progress so that other
"Baby Gophers" could find it easy to understand the _mechanics_ of writing a package
in Go. He/she would now be able to build their own Go packages.

Then open a Bash shell for your local folder redditnews and type:
$ git init
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "first commit"
$ git remote add origin https://github.com/SatishTalim/redditnews.git
$ git push -u origin master
