No sample shows me how to build a non trivial Go application

Expected Behavior

As a developer who's going to use Build CRD to build a Go application, I'd like to have a sample that shows me how to write the build.yaml. Go application tend to be touchy about being cloned under GOPATH.

Actual Behavior

I couldn't find any. Nor could I guess how to do that from existing documentation. I mean I did but it's more bash-fu that a proper build descriptor.

apiVersion: build.dev/v1alpha1
kind: Build
metadata:
  name: git-build
spec:
  source:
    git:
      url: https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/skaffold.git
      branch: master
  steps:
  - image: golang:1.10.2
    args: ["sh", "-c", "mkdir -p /go/src/github.com/GoogleContainerTools && ln -s /workspace /go/src/github.com/GoogleContainerTools/skaffold && make"]
  - image: busybox
    args: ["./out/skaffold", "version"]

Indeed there is a lack of documentation for real-world build use cases.

Until such docs exist, you might find it easier to use the go builder we recommend for GCB, which also works in the Build CRD model.

@ImJasonH Can I choose the version of go with the go builder?

[imjasonh]

No this is currently a limitation of that builder image. It shouldn't be hard to build a matrix of versions if you need that, and I would gladly accept a PR to support that in the cloud-builders repo if you're so inclined. We haven't had many requests for that so far tbh.
