[ghost]

What is the URL of the page with the issue?

https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/tools

What is your user agent?

Mozilla Firefox

What did you do?

if you visit the page, you are presented with this URL:

https://cs.opensource.google/go/x/tools

What did you expect to see?

A link to download ZIP or TAR.GZ

What did you see instead?

I cannot see a method to download the source code from opensource.google. another user pointed me here:

https://go.googlesource.com/tools

but that doesn't have a link to download a ZIP or TAR.GZ either.

Unlike many projects, the Go project does not use GitHub Issues for general discussion or asking questions. GitHub Issues are used for tracking bugs and proposals only.
