Go Version Management: goenv

goenv aims to be as simple as possible and follow the already established successful version management model of pyenv and rbenv.

New go versions are added automatically on a daily CRON schedule.

This project was cloned from pyenv and modified for Go.

goenv does...

• Let you change the global Go version on a per-user basis.
• Provide support for per-project Go versions.
• Allow you to override the Go version with an environment variable.
• Search commands from multiple versions of Go at a time.

goenv compared to others:

• https://github.com/crsmithdev/goenv depends on Go,
• https://github.com/moovweb/gvm is a different approach to the problem that's modeled after nvm. goenv is more simplified.
