A documentation guide showing how to set up GitHub Actions CI/CD for Go projects, with example workflow YAML files and FAQs. It covers build matrices across Go versions and operating systems, caching with actions/setup-go, environment variables, and conditional steps.

Use cases

• set up CI for a Go repository with GitHub Actions
• test a Go module on multiple Go versions and operating systems
• cache Go module and build caches between CI builds
• set environment variables in GitHub Actions workflows
• run workflow steps conditionally in GitHub Actions
• speed up Go CI pipelines with GOCACHE and GOMODCACHE caching

When to choose

• you are configuring GitHub Actions CI for a Go project
• you want canonical example workflow YAML for testing Go across a version/OS matrix
• you need guidance on caching Go builds or setting env vars in Actions

When to avoid

• you use a CI system other than GitHub Actions
• you need a reusable GitHub Action binary or tool rather than documentation
• your project is not written in Go
