goenv aims to be as simple as possible and follow the already established

successful version management model of [pyenv](https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv) and [rbenv](https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv).

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

This project was cloned from [pyenv](https://github.com/pyenv/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.

### Hints

#### AWS CodeBuild

The following snippet can be inserted in your buildspec.yml (or buildspec definition) for AWS CodeBuild. It's recommended to do this during the `pre_build` phase.

    

**Side Note:** if you use the below steps, please unset your golang version in the buildspec and run the installer manually.

```yaml

- BUILD_DIR=$PWD

- cd /root/.goenv/plugins/go-build/../.. && git pull && cd -

- cd $BUILD_DIR

```
