If you have a hierarchy like that, you may specify the sibling folder to test (and recurse down) like this:

go test internal/...

If this is not feasible to you (e.g. you have many siblings of cmd, or you have many subfolders inside cmd which you do want to test), you may use build constraints to achieve what you want.

For example, add an exclusion of a donttestme build tag to the hello_test.go file (the first line):

// +build !donttestme

And then when you specify this tag when testing, files that exclude this build tag will not be considered (will be skipped):

go test -tags donttestme <somepackages>
