As, many of you already know, in javascript, when using "npm init" command, it asks several questions for project level metadata. Also, developers can add custom commands in "script" section. Some other features like "repository, config" etc.

Can Go have a similar feature when using "go mod init" command? What do you guys think?

Or, in summary, can we have more rich features for go modules?

If I understand this correctly, it seems to me that a more Go-like approach would be options for go mod init.

In any case, can you give some specific examples of values that would be set? I don't understand your example of "repository, config." Thanks.

It appears to be described here, in particular repository and config. ISTM these are things that just work with Go as part of the go tool, or are part of Go syntax.

We aren't going to add questions to go mod init. In general we've decided that we won't store arbitrary configuration data in the go.mod file. Closing this issue.
