A standalone prototype of a version-aware `go` command that brought Go 1.11 module support to users on Go 1.10 toolchains. It is now obsolete, as all of its features were incorporated into the main Go toolchain.

Use cases

  • manage Go project dependencies with semantic versioning on Go 1.10
  • try out Go modules before upgrading to Go 1.11
  • experiment with versioned Go workflows
  • resolve and download specific versions of Go packages

When to choose

  • you are stuck on a Go 1.10 toolchain and need module support (historical scenario only)
  • you are studying the history of Go's module system design

When to avoid

  • you use Go 1.11 or later - modules are built into the standard `go` command
  • you are starting a new project
  • you need maintained tooling
