Go-Sort is a CLI application that provides a suite of commands for handling binary files and sorting operations. The application is built in Go and features three main commands:

1. Generate: Creates a sample binary file in a specific format (the first number as int64 indicating the number of subsequent int32 numbers).
2. Sort: Sorts a given binary file using the sample sort algorithm with concurrent sorting techniques and a k-ways merge algorithm implemented using a min-heap.
3. Verify: Sequentially verifies the sorted file for correctness.
