   indexRedirect	http://TylerLaFronz.com	URL to redirect the naked index request to

2. Run the server

    go install go.lafronz.com/vanago/cmd/vanago

Why I made it

As part of my push to have a better understand of Go, I started reading about how the go get command works. After learning how it functioned, I was searching around for any tool that would allow me to customize my go import paths. I was unable to find anything that really fit my needs or was dynamic enough for me to use for both public and private packages. So I created Vanago, which I now use to run my Go import path.

Future

I am looking to expand this in the future to support multiple Teams/Users on the same URL.
