golang plugin for asdf version manager
- GNU Core Utils -
brew install coreutils
- GNU Core Utils -
apt install coreutils
- curl -
apt install curl
asdf plugin add golang https://github.com/asdf-community/asdf-golang.git
Check the asdf readme for instructions on how to install & manage versions of go.
To set GOROOT
in your shell's initialization add the following:
zsh shell
. ~/.asdf/plugins/golang/set-env.zsh
fish shell
source ~/.asdf/plugins/golang/set-env.fish
nushell shell
Add this to your env.nu
source ('~/.asdf/plugins/golang/set-env.nu')
bash shell
Add this to your .bashrc:
. ~/.asdf/plugins/golang/set-env.bash
After using go get
or go install
to install a package you need to run asdf reshim golang
to get any new shims.
asdf-golang can automatically install a default set of packages with go get -u $PACKAGE
right after installing a new Go version.
To enable this feature, provide a $HOME/.default-golang-pkgs file that lists one package per line, for example:
// allows comments
github.com/Dreamacro/clash
github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit
You can specify a non-default location of this file by setting a ASDF_GOLANG_DEFAULT_PACKAGES_FILE
variable.
When using .tool-versions
or .go-version
, the exact version specified in the
file will be selected.
When using go.mod
, the highest compatible version that is currently installed
will be selected. As per the Go modules
reference, that is the highest minor
version with a matching major version. For example, a go 1.14
directive in a
go.mod
file will result in the highest installed 1.minor.patch
being
selected, not necessarily 1.14.patch
.
Note: Users can explicitly exclude or include go.mod
and go.work
by
setting ASDF_GOLANG_MOD_VERSION_ENABLED
. Currently it defaults to true
, but that
may change in the future, so it should be explicitly set.
The ASDF_GOLANG_OVERWRITE_ARCH
variable can be used to override the architecture
that is used for determining which Go build to download. The primary use case is when attempting
to install an older version of Go for use on an Apple M1 computer as Go was not being built for ARM at the time.

/Users/<home>/.asdf/downloads/golang/1.15.8/archive.tar.gz: OK
checksum verified
By default we try to verify the checksum of each install but ocassionally that's not possible.
If you need to skip the checksum for some reason just set ASDF_GOLANG_SKIP_CHECKSUM
.
