Hi,

Now the go-server creates a project like this

│   main.go
│   Dockerfile
│   .openapi-generator-ignore
│
├───go
│       model_user.go
│       api_default.go
│       routers.go
│       logger.go
│       README.md
│
├───api
│       openapi.yaml
│
└───.openapi-generator
        VERSION

Describe the solution you'd like

Shall we create a structure similar to the go-swagger generates folders.

cmd/<server's name>/main.go
models/<all models>

Thanks !

Research direction

Start by reviewing the current Go server output, including main.go, the go/ directory, api/openapi.yaml, and the .openapi-generator metadata, then compare the requested cmd/<server's name>/main.go and models/ layout with go-swagger's structure. Done means the generated project has an agreed, documented folder organization and its generated files remain usable.
