g is a simple, portable Go version manager implemented as a single POSIX shell script. It installs official prebuilt Go archives without shims, sudo, or a plugin ecosystem, inspired by tj/n.
Use cases
- install and switch between multiple Go versions
- manage go toolchain versions without shims
- try a specific Go version without changing the active one
- set up Go on macOS or Linux without sudo
- discover and install Go beta and RC releases
- script Go version installation in CI
When to choose
- you want a lightweight, single-script Go version manager
- you use multiple shells (bash, zsh, fish) and want no shim pollution
- you prefer official prebuilt Go binaries over building from source
- you need unprivileged installation without sudo
When to avoid
- you need Windows support outside WSL
- you want project-level automatic version switching via config files
- you need a version manager for multiple languages, not just Go
