Easier Go debugging on the command line with CGDB

Here I quickly go through how to use CGDB to debug a Go program in an easier way than with the GDB debugger directly, since it continuously shows the code context. I cover the basic GDB commands on how to navigate the code, set breakpoints, step line-by-line and into functions and goroutines. CGDB () is a light-weight wrapper around GDB that adds a split window, with the code context above, and the normal GDB console in the bottom. In being totally command line based, it is quite
