Migrate the database
make db-up
Reset the database
make db-reset
Seeds
make db-seed
This command will run the seed file located at cmd/scripts/seed/main.go
Creating views with Templ
Gothkit uses Templ as its templating engine. Templ allows you to create type safe view components that renders fragments of HTML. In-depth information about Templ can be found here: Templ documentation

Create a production release
Gothkit will compile your whole application including its assets into a single binary. To build your application for production you can run the following command:
make build
This will create a binary file located at /bin/app_prod.
Make sure you also set the correct application environment variable in your .env file.
APP_ENV = production
