gotip

Documentation

Overview

The gotip command compiles and runs the go command from the development tree.

To install, run:

$ go install golang.org/dl/gotip@latest
$ gotip download

And then use the gotip command as if it were your normal go command.

To update, run "gotip download" again. This will always download the main branch. To download an alternative branch, run "gotip download BRANCH". To download a specific CL, run "gotip download NUMBER".

By default, gotip force sets GOTOOLCHAIN=auto to avoid the GOTOOLCHAIN value from go env -w interfere. Users can override this behavior by setting GOTOOLCHAIN in their environment var setting.
