A number of changes were introduced with [[https://blog.golang.org/go116-module-changes][Go 1.16]]. This document is a reference for me so that I can find answers to things I keep forgetting. +** Creating a new module +To create a new module, run =go mod init golang.fcuny.net/m=. This will create two files: =go.mod= and =go.sum=. + +In the =go.mod= file you'll find: +- the module import path (prefixed with =module=) +- the list of dependencies (within =require=) +- the version of go to use for the module +** Versioning +To bump the version of a module: +#+begin_src sh +$ git tag v1.2.3 +$ git push --tags +#+end_src + +Then as a user: +#+begin_src sh +$ go get -d golang.fcuny.net/m@v1.2.3 +#+end_src +** Updating dependencies +To update the dependencies, run =go mod tidy= +** Editing a module +If you need to modify a module, you can check out the module in your workspace (=git clone <module URL>=). + +Edit the =go.mod= file to add +#+begin_src go +replace <module URL> => <path of the local checkout> +#+end_src + +Then modify the code of the module and the next time you compile the project, the cloned module will be used. + +This is particularly useful when trying to debug an issue with an external module. +** Vendor-ing modules +It's still possible to vendor modules by running =go mod vendor=. This can be useful in the case of a CI setup that does not have access to internet. +** Proxy +As of version 1.13, the variable =GOPROXY= defaults to =https://proxy.golang.org,direct= (see [[https://github.com/golang/go/blob/c95464f0ea3f87232b1f3937d1b37da6f335f336/src/cmd/go/internal/cfg/cfg.go#L269][here]]). As a result, when running something like =go get golang.org/x/tools/gopls@latest=, the request goes through the proxy. + +There's a number of ways to control the behavior, they are documented [[https://golang.org/ref/mod#private-modules][here]]. + +There's a few interesting things that can be done when using the proxy.
