asdf plugin-add golang https://github.com/kennyp/asdf-golang.git

Check the asdf readme for instructions on how to install & manage versions of go.

After using go get 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.

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.
