Overview
go.mod
declares the module path, which is the import path prefix for all packages within the module. It also tracks the modules that provide dependencies to this module.
One way to create it is with go mod init
:
go mod init <module-path>
go.mod
stays with the code, including in the source repository.
Example
module example.com/hello
go 1.21.0
require rsc.io/quote v1.5.2
require (
golang.org/x/text v0.0.0-20170915032832-14c0d48ead0c // indirect
rsc.io/sampler v1.3.0 // indirect
)
Initialize go.mod
In the module root directory, initialize the go.mod
file.
go mod init <module-path>
go mod init example.com/generic
