[FIXED] How to embed files into Go binaries

Issue

I have some text file that I read from my Go program. I'd like to ship a single executable, without supplying that text file additionally. How do I embed it into compilation on Windows and Linux?

Solution

Use go-bindata. From the README:

This tool converts any file into managable Go source code. Useful for embedding binary data into a go program. The file data is optionally gzip compressed before being converted to a raw byte slice.
