Setting up your .env file

This weather CLI application utilizes the godotenv package to manage the API key securely. Here's how to configure it:

1. Create a .env file: Create a file named .env in the root directory of your project (where the main.go file resides).

2. Add your API key:

Inside the .env file, add a line in the following format:

ApiKey=<your_api_key>

Replace <your_api_key> with the actual API key obtained from the Weather API website.

Download the dependencies

Build the executable:

go build main.go

Run the application

./go_cli-weatherApp <location>

Replace <location> with desired location name(e.g., Bengaluru, Tokyo) Note: If you don't provide the location name, by default it will consider Bengaluru
