By default this folder contains devel.go and heroku.go, which both define the package config. Only one of them will be imported by server.go depending on whether the build tag heroku is defined (production.go) or not (development.go). You can define environment specific code in these files. New Relic is initialized in heroku.go, which is only used in the Heroku environment.

This folder is auto-generated by the godep binary when you run godep save. It is used to store Go dependencies, which Heroku requires.

This folder is produces by nodeJS and contains nodeJS packages. This project uses bower by default, which is installed to this directory using npm install.

Any static assets should be places in this folder. The server knows how to server anything in this folder without a specific handler in server.go. The vendor folder is produced by bower install and contains any bower-managed packages.

Go HTML templates should be placed in this folder.

You're on your own! You can set up your Go code however you wish. This project uses server.go as its main file, but you can modify this however you wish.
