将执行get命令更新本地计算机中的软件包

Question

Suppose I download a package using go get <Import path of package>. Now after x number of days that package has been updated remotely and now if I run again go get <Import path of package> will it be updated on my local too?

Answer 1

The go get <Import path of package> command will not update the local copy if there is already a local copy installed.

The go get documentation says:

The -u flag instructs get to use the network to update the named packages and their dependencies. By default, get uses the network to check out missing packages but does not use it to look for updates to existing packages.

Run go get -u <Import path of package> to get or update the local copy.
