gova build

gova build is a convenience wrapper over go build that places the output in a predictable location and applies the platform-appropriate extension.

gova build              # produces ./bin/<module-name>
gova build ./cmd/app    # produces ./bin/app
gova build -o dist/app  # custom output path

Flags

Notes

• Output directories are created on demand.
• On Windows, the output is suffixed with .exe automatically.
• Build errors stream to stderr exactly as go build emits them, so editor integrations that parse compiler output continue to work.

For anything more complex than "put a binary in bin/," call go build directly. gova build is deliberately thin.
