You may know [rustlings](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustlings), right? If you don't, please go ahead and check out.
`rustlings` is awesome. It is a CLI app designed to teach the awesome Rust programming language through exercises.

`golings` has the very same idea, but for the [Go programming language](https://go.dev/)

## Installing

First, you need to have `go` installed. You can install it by visiting the [Go downloads page](https://go.dev/dl/)

## Doing exercises

First, clone this repository

```sh
git clone git@github.com:mauricioabreu/golings.git
