go get命令会缓存吗？

Question

I trying to find if the go get command do cache or not but I don't find any information inside https://golang.org/cmd/go/.

I think there is no cache but I'm not sure.

Does go get do cache and if yes where is located ?

Answer 1

go get downloads the packages named by the import paths, along with their dependencies.

Then installs the package, using go install, which uses go build and go build caches recent build results in $GOPATH/pkg

The default location for cache data is a subdirectory named go-build in the standard user cache directory for the current operating system.

Cache directory:

go env GOCACHE

For more information about cache go help cache
