Go Version Management: goenv

goenv aims to be as simple as possible and follow the already established successful version management model of pyenv and rbenv.

New go versions are added automatically on a daily CRON schedule.

This project was cloned from pyenv and modified for Go.

goenv does...

• Let you change the global Go version on a per-user basis.
• Provide support for per-project Go versions.
• Allow you to override the Go version with an environment variable.
• Search commands from multiple versions of Go at a time.

goenv compared to others:

• https://github.com/crsmithdev/goenv depends on Go,
• https://github.com/moovweb/gvm is a different approach to the problem that's modeled after nvm. goenv is more simplified.

Hints

AWS CodeBuild

The following snippet can be inserted in your buildspec.yml (or buildspec definition) for AWS CodeBuild. It's recommended to do this during the pre_build phase.

Side Note: if you use the below steps, please unset your golang version in the buildspec and run the installer manually.

- BUILD_DIR=$PWD
- cd /root/.goenv/plugins/go-build/../.. && git pull && cd -
- cd $BUILD_DIR
