Create a dedicated folder / package with at least one .go file for your experiments
$ mkdir charts && echo "package charts" >charts/charts.go
printf "package charts\n\nfunc Run() {}" >charts/charts.go
Open ./cmd/<command>.go and call a public function from your new package
var chartsCmd = &cobra.Command{
Run: func(cmd *cobra.Command, args []string) {
fmt.Println("charts called")
charts.Run() // Delegate to package function (1st entry point)
// (...)
main() in main.go delegates to Cobra’s Execute() function in cmd/root.go$ cat main.go
func main() {
cmd.Execute()
}
