Overview

go is a command line tool with multiple uses: package manager, build tool and test driver. go manage packages in workspaces, query metadata about packages, print documentation, build, format, download, test, etc.

Commands

Help

go help <command>
go help build

build

go build

install

go install

run

The run command compiles the specified packages or files by delegating to go build and then runs the executable. There must be a main for an executable to be generated.

cd $PROJECT_DIR
go run ./src/main/main.go some-arg-1 some-arg-2

The first argument that does not end in .go is assumed to be the beginning of the list of command line arguments of the executable.

Is the above true though? The following command runs fine, where "example.com/experimental-go-module/cmd/gotest" is the package path of a "main" package inside of the "example.com/experimental-go-module" module. No argument ends in .go, yet it works:

go run example.com/experimental-go-module/cmd/gotest
