On: Ask HN: Good Go codebases to read?

[dorianm]

I was trying to understand the go source code the other day, my process was:

`git clone https://github.com/golang/go` then `cd go`, and `tree .`, `git grep ...`, `vim ...`, etc.

Anyway, couldn't find how to get the tests to pass, but found this:

https://golang.org/doc/codewalk/markov/

And a little explanation: https://golang.org/doc/codewalk/codewalk/

Also: https://golang.org/doc/install/source

In terms of codebase, kubernetes and upspin seem pretty good too:

https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes https://github.com/upspin/upspin

I imagine upspin is one of the best examples because Rob Pike is one of the main contributors

Funny thing is that I couldn't get up spin to run :).

But yes having a global namespace is a genius idea.
