Summary

To build a URL shortener with Go, you need to create the project directory structure, install required dependencies, provision the database, build the URL shortener, define the default route's template, add the ability to shorten a URL, add the ability to redirect a shortened URL to the original URL, and test that the URL shortener works as expected. The application uses SQLite as its database and features routes for retrieving all shortened URLs, processing form requests to shorten URLs, and redirecting users from shortened URLs to their original URLs.
