Installation: "go install github.com/go-nunu/nunu@latest". Create a new project: "nunu new projectName". Optional templates:
- "nunu new projectName -r https://gitee.com/go-nunu/nunu-layout-basic.git"
- "nunu new projectName -r https://gitee.com/go-nunu/nunu-layout-advanced.git"
- "nunu new projectName -r https://github.com/go-nunu/nunu-layout-monorepo.git" Create components:
- "nunu create handler user"
- "nunu create service user"
