The standard Go log package is pretty barebones, but is fine for many simple programs. For more complex applications, though, you’d probably want to have different log levels for different events. There are many logging packages, such as the previously covered log15 that implement log leveling and provide other features. HashiCorp’s logutils is something different.
Amazon has published an Amazon Web Services SDK for Go programming language. Currently it’s experimental, so expect bugs, but you can already use it to manage your AWS stuff.
Go ships with flag
standard library package, which covers a lot of what’s needed to write command-line interfaces, however if you need more power and better structure for your console apps, try codegangsta’s package cli.go.

If you need to read Git repositories from Go, instead of calling git
command-line tool, consider using gogit.
Writing HTML document handling code with parsers is pretty hard. Even plain DOM tree walking can make your code look like spaghetti. That is why libraries like jQuery are popular: they make it easy to do queries and all sorts of other manipulations with HTML documents.
goquery is like jQuery, but in Go.

log15 is a powerful structured logging package for Go with a simple, easy-to-use API. It supports output with color when logging to terminal, and also can write to files, streams, syslog and network.
If you want data persistence in your Go application, most likely you’re thinking of using some database. The easiest and probably the most convenient for deployment are embedded databases. There are many wrappers for C databases, however Go developers usually prefer pure Golang solutions.
Bolt is the way to go: it’s a pure Go embedded key/value database, which is easy to use for persistence in your Go projects. Bolt is similar to LMDB, which many consider the best among state-of-the-art modern key-value stores. Just like LMDB, and unlike LevelDB, BoltDB supports fully serializable ACID transactions. Unlike SQLite, it doesn’t have a query language, and is much easier to use for common things.
Bolt saves data into a single memory-mapped file on disk. It doesn’t have a separate journal, write-ahead log, or a thread for compaction or garbage collection: it deals with just one file, and does it safely.
