If you read the README.md file, you'll stumble onto the next paragraph right at its start.
This is a basic layout for Go application projects. It's not an official standard defined by the core Go dev team; however, it is a set of common historical and emerging project layout patterns in the Go ecosystem. (...)
I don’t like this repo and I’ve been recommending people avoid it for years.
Unless you have a better reference that you can provide in place of this one, I don't think you're doing anyone any good. People use these documents for guidance, and no guidance at all is clearly not a better alternative to a concrete example whose worst traits is not fitting someone's vague, subjective opinion.

There’s also an experiment from the core dev team now: https://go.dev/blog/gonew that comes with 2 very basic templates that might be worth a look

Yeah, there is no standard.

If you need examples, checkout the golang source code or kubernetes repo.

Isn't the Google Go style guide also supposed to be pretty decent.

No need to read anything pass the project title, it says "golang-standards". If it not standards, maybe change the project title ?
I gave two examples in my initial comment. I can provide more, if you want.

Why do people insist on some “standard” here?
Smacks of junior developer.

Pretty much. Once you get into the suck, you very quickly learn there isn't a standard beyond that which the project/org dictates.
