protoc-gen-go is a plugin for the Google protocol buffer compiler to generate Go code. Install it by building this program and making it accessible within your PATH with the name:
protoc-gen-go
The 'go' suffix becomes part of the argument for the protocol compiler, such that it can be invoked as:
protoc --go_out=paths=source_relative:. path/to/file.proto
This generates Go bindings for the protocol buffer defined by file.proto. With that input, the output will be written to:
path/to/file.pb.go
