Ginkgo is a testing framework for Go designed to help you write expressive tests. https://github.com/onsi/ginkgo MIT-Licensed The godoc documentation outlines Ginkgo's API. Since Ginkgo is a Domain-Specific Language it is important to build a mental model for Ginkgo - the narrative documentation at https://onsi.github.io/ginkgo/ is designed to help you do that. You should start there - even a brief skim will be helpful. At minimum you should skim through the https://onsi.github.io/ginkgo/#getting-started chapter. Ginkgo's is best paired with the Gomega matcher library: https://github.com/onsi/gomega You can run Ginkgo specs with go test - however we recommend using the ginkgo cli. It enables functionality that go test does not (especially running suites in parallel). You can learn more at https://onsi.github.io/ginkgo/#ginkgo-cli-overview or by running 'ginkgo help'.
