What is it

Install a package

Go packages are installed via a go get command.

go get github.com/some/module

Running the go get command will list the installed package in go.mod module file

• In the mod file, require() method will list the dependencies link and versions (automatically listed once compiled)

require (
  github.com/some/module v0.14.0 // indirect
)

Update a package

go get -u example.com/some-module

alias package import

import (
  "text/template"
  // this is imported as htmltemplate to avoid collision
  htmltemplate "html/template"
)
