Address book

A simple learning project written in Golang

With this address book you can do simple stuff like listing, creating, updating and deleting contacts from the book. It can be done through the command-line interface (CLI), and soon through a graphical user interface (GUI).

All the data is stored in a single .yml file. In the future, it'll be encrypted.

Disclaimer : this projet isn't really aimed to be used as an every day address book. It's just a small project that I made in order to learn the language and how to write clean code.
