Go Secure Password generator

A password generator tools to create or generate a secure password using SHA-256 algorithm by default.

Set up your environment

Make sure that you have your Go environment ready and use the Go command to download all the packages in the .mod file

Run the script

The script has a generated executable, you can just run the following:

./password_generator

You can also create an alias on macOs to run the script more easily. First, you need to make sure the compiled binary is in a directory that is in your PATH. If you want to use /usr/local/bin, you can move the binary there:

sudo mv password_generator /usr/local/bin

Now, open your shell configuration file. If you're using the default Bash shell, the file is ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile. If you're using the Zsh shell, the file is ~/.zshrc. Open the appropriate file in your favorite text editor, or create it if it doesn't exist.

nano ~/.bashrc # for Bash or nano ~/.zshrc # for Zsh

Add the following line at the end of the file to create an alias:

alias passgen='password_generator'

source ~/.bashrc # for Bash or source ~/.zshrc # for Zsh

Now you should be able to use the passgen alias to run the password_generator script:

passgen

#Build up the project from scratch

Use go get command to install packages

go get <package_name>

go run password_generator.go
