go get v git clone

[arthurwil...@gmail.com]

if I want to get a git repo of go module code and start hacking on it do I use go get or git clone? I tried go get, but it downloaded to ~/go/pkg/mod and when I tried to run one of the tests it didn't work. Also there's no .git dir with the history in the go get tree of the code. Is there a way to go get the git repo to a path?

Also how do I delete something I go getted?  (or go got?) Looking for the go unget command.

You use git clone. Go get is for adding a dependency to a project.

Also how do I delete something I go getted?

 

~/go/pkg/mod is just a local cache, nothing you work in. You can clear the whole module cache with go clean -modcache

One has to admit this is a bit of an unfortunate regression in the 'go get' workflow.
Especially for 'vanity import' packages.

What's the repository holding the sources for e.g. 'golang.org/x/tools' or 'gioui.org' ?
It used to be really simple to fetch any 'go get'-import-able project.
Now, not so much.
Nothing unsurmountable, mind you, but still.

Just my 2 (euro) c.

I just want to remove one thing go getted, not the entire cache.

For new features one can fill a proposal. If accepted, a follow-up
with the implementation CL is very nice

[arthurwil...@gmail.com]

OK I'll try and figure out how to do that. What is a CL?

Change List. A patch against the repository that implements a feature,
fixes a bug etc.

Thanks Jan. I never heard CL jargon for patchset before.  I was wondering what does Craigs List have to do with this.
