go-walk-scan

README

RiskScan.go

My first go program, made to learn the language.

To run the program

go run .\riskScan.go --dir <directory to scan> --out <output_file.json>

Last minute change

• I removed the use of Walk as I feel it was too constraining in the end. By using actual recursion, I have a point to add multithreading if needed.

What is missing

• To make it perfectly safe and production-ready, this project desperately needs some unit tests.
• Some optimisations can probably be made as some of the implementations are pretty naive.
• Error-handling is also incomplete.
• I read about Go routines but didn't implement them yet. It would make the recursion more efficient.
• The project could benefit from some cleanup and organisation by splitting in multiple files.
