How do you get an update for the tip of a package?

[Peter Kleiweg]

I try to install a Go program from github at tip.

This works:

    go get github.com/some/program@HEAD

But when there is a new push to the repository, and I do this:

    go get -u github.com/some/program@HEAD

... I still have the previous version.

The same with go install.

The same when I run this first:

    go clean -cache -modcache

Most likely, you may have hit the cache on Go proxy server. Either wait
for several minutes (1 hour?) or turn off the GOPROXY environment
variable.

See https://golang.org/ref/mod#module-proxy for more information.
