go get

Add a dependency package, or download packages in legacy GOPATH mode. Note: ./... is a Go package pattern understood by Go tooling. It matches the current package and all packages recursively under the current directory. More information: https://pkg.go.dev/cmd/go#hdr-Add_dependencies_to_current_module_and_install_them.

• Add a specified package to go.mod in module-mode or install the package in GOPATH-mode:

go get {{example.com/pkg}}

• Modify the package with a given version in module-aware mode:

go get {{example.com/pkg}}@{{v1.2.3}}

• Remove a specified package:

go get {{example.com/pkg}}@{{none}}

• Update a package to its latest release:

go get -u example.com/pkg

• Update direct dependencies:

go get -u

• Update direct and indirect dependencies:

go get -u ./...

• Update direct, indirect, and test dependencies:

go get -u -t ./...
