Overview

The Go build cache is the filesystem storage used by the Go compiler to store source file hashes and object files produced by builds. This data allows the Go compiler to implement incremental builds.

On a Mac, the build cache resides under /Users/<user-name>/Library/Cache/go-build. The cache can be cleaned with go clean.
