CI/CD

This project uses GitHub Actions for continuous integration and delivery. The workflow:

• Runs on every push and pull request to the master branch
• Verifies dependencies with go mod verify
• Builds the project using go build
• Runs static code analysis with go vet and staticcheck
• Executes tests with race condition detection

This ensures code quality and stability through automated testing and auditing before merging or deployment.

Setup

1. Clone the repository
2. Run go mod download to install dependencies
3. Set up PostgreSQL and configure the connection
4. Build and run the Docker container for the application
5. Run migrations and start the server: go run main.go or go build && ./Social-With-Go
