go-namesys provides publish and resolution support for the /ipns/ namespace
👉 We highly recommend switching to the maintained version at https://github.com/ipfs/boxo/tree/main/namesys. 🏎️ Good news! There is tooling and documentation to expedite a switch in your repo.

Package namesys defines Resolver and Publisher interfaces for IPNS paths, that is, paths in the form of /ipns/<name_to_be_resolved>. A "resolved" IPNS path becomes an /ipfs/<cid> path.
Traditionally, these paths would be in the form of /ipns/{libp2p-key}, which references an IPNS record in a distributed ValueStore (usually the IPFS DHT).
Additionally, the /ipns/ namespace can also be used with domain names that use DNSLink (/ipns/en.wikipedia-on-ipfs.org, see https://docs.ipfs.io/concepts/dnslink/).
The package provides implementations for all three resolvers.
go-namesys works like a regular Go module:
> go get github.com/ipfs/go-namesys
import "github.com/ipfs/go-namesys"
