How-to build a Charm

1. Create a charmcraft.yaml file with the Go plugin

To build a Go charm, you need to create a charmcraft.yaml file in the root of your charm project. Use the go plugin to build your charm in charmcraft.yaml:

parts:
  charm:
    source: .
    plugin: go
    build-snaps:
      - go
    organize:
      bin/<your-charm-name>: dispatch

Here replace <your-charm-name> with the name of your charm. The dispatch file will be the entry point for your charm.
