Supposed I have a repo like so:
application/
core/
go.mod -> github.com/me/application/core
<source-files>
cli/
go.mod -> github.com/me/application/cli
<source-files>
README
How would I go about importing code from core if I'm in cli? Importing as github.com/me/application/core has not been working. What am I missing?

your structure is kind of confusing.
you usually have to put one go.mod at the root of the repository.
small tulip
so there has to be a go.mod file at the root even if there is not really a me/application module?
I'm really just using application as a "namespace" for my modules.
Is that an antipattern?
mental drift
In the root of the project you should have your go main.go and go.mod.
Then you can have your packages in sub directories.
There's a post about it. One sec.
It doesn't need to be called main.go for what it's worth, just shorthand.
You can call it mysupersweetapp.go, as long as the package is main, and it's in the root folder your project.

there is a difference between a module and a package btw, if you're confused about it.
since you want to make the "core" an importable package, it doesn't really make sense to put go.mod inside

Got it. Thanks for the advice

I want core to be it's own module that other stuff can use, while the cli module can have its own main that can be executed

Can I know the exact error your are facing?
