Because of isolated path, uninstalling is also possible.\n\nThis tool is greatly inspired by [`pipx`](https://github.com/pypa/pipx).\n\n![a logo of gopher with thumb up without any text](logo.png)\n\u003e Thanks [DALL-e](https://openai.com/dall-e-2/) for the logo.\n\n## Motivations\n\n- Command `go clean -i -r ...` [does not really clean everything](https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/pzeunz/proper_package_management_commands_in_go_117/).\n- Sometime people just want to use `go install` to install a CLI for non-development purpose, but doing it under a Go project, it changes your `go.mod` and `go.sum` files.\n- People could do `ls $GOPATH/bin` to see all the binaries but have to go thru extra steps to figure out the package name before uninstalling it.\n- Simply removing the binary under `$GOPATH/bin` leaves a bunch of dependencies in `$GOPATH/pkg/mod`.\n\n## Features\n\n- Install CLI Go apps in an isolated path, without changing anything under `$GOPATH` or `go.mod`/`go.sum` files (if under a Go project).\n- Clean up related mod cache after installation to free up space.\n- Uninstall the app in one command without leaving any files behind.\n- List all CLI go apps installed\n- *(UPCOMING)* Check for outdated CLI go apps among the installed.\n- *(UPCOMING)* Strip the binary after as part of installation.\n- *(UPCOMING)* Show information about a CLI go app.\n- *(UPCOMING)* Run a CLI app once and uninstall.\n- *(UPCOMING)* Search for CLI go apps from sources like [awesome-go](https://awesome-go.com/).\n\n## Usage\n\n```text\nA tool for installing a Go package to an isolated path, to keep the global GOPATH\nclean.
