go

Tool for managing go source code.

Some subcommands such as `go build` have their own usage documentation.

• Download and install a package, specified by its import path:

go get {package_path}

• Compile and run a source file (it has to contain a `main` package):

go run {file}.go

• Compile a source file into a named executable:

go build -o {executable} {file}.go

• Compile the package present in the current directory:

go build

• Execute all test cases of the current package (files have to end with `_test.go`):

go test

• Compile and install the current package:

go install

• Initialize a new module in the current directory:

go mod init {module_name}
