Command Reference

Like git, the goenv command delegates to subcommands based on its first argument.

The most common subcommands are:

goenv commands

Lists all available goenv commands.

goenv local

Sets a local application-specific Go version by writing the version name to a .go-version file in the current directory. This version overrides the global version, and can be overridden itself by setting the GOENV_VERSION environment variable or with the goenv shell command.

> goenv local 1.6.1

When run without a version number, goenv local reports the currently configured local version. You can also unset the local version:

> goenv local --unset

Previous versions of goenv stored local version specifications in a file named .goenv-version. For backwards compatibility, goenv will read a local version specified in an .goenv-version file, but a .go-version file in the same directory will take precedence.

goenv local (advanced)

You can specify local Go version.

> goenv local 1.5.4

# Showcase
> goenv versions
  system
  * 1.5.4 (set by /Users/syndbg/path/to/project/.go-version)

> goenv version
1.5.4 (set by /Users/syndbg/path/to/project/.go-version)

> go version

go version go1.5.4 darwin/amd64

goenv global

Sets the global version of Go to be used in all shells by writing the version name to the ~/.goenv/version file. This version can be overridden by an application-specific .go-version file, or by setting the GOENV_VERSION environment variable.

> goenv global 1.5.4

# Showcase
> goenv versions
  system
  * 1.5.4 (set by /Users/syndbg/.goenv/version)

> goenv version
1.5.4 (set by /Users/syndbg/.goenv/version)

> go version
go version go1.5.4 darwin/amd64

The special version name system tells goenv to use the system Go (detected by searching your $PATH).

When run without a version number, goenv global reports the currently configured global version.

goenv shell

Sets a shell-specific Go version by setting the GOENV_VERSION environment variable in your shell. This version overrides application-specific versions and the global version.

> goenv shell 1.5.4

When run without a version number, goenv shell reports the current value of GOENV_VERSION. You can also unset the shell version:

> goenv shell --unset

Note that you'll need goenv's shell integration enabled (step 3 of the installation instructions) in order to use this command. If you prefer not to use shell integration, you may simply set the GOENV_VERSION variable yourself:

> export GOENV_VERSION=1.5.4

goenv install

Install a Go version (using go-build).

> goenv install

Usage: goenv install [-f] [-kvp] <version>
        goenv install [-f] [-kvp] <definition-file>
        goenv install -l|--list

  -l/--list             List all available versions
  -f/--force            Install even if the version appears to be installed already
  -s/--skip-existing    Skip the installation if the version appears to be installed already

  go-build options:

  -k/--keep        Keep source tree in $GOENV_BUILD_ROOT after installation
                    (defaults to $GOENV_ROOT/sources)
  -v/--verbose     Verbose mode: print compilation status to stdout
  -p/--patch       Apply a patch from stdin before building
  -g/--debug       Build a debug version

goenv uninstall

Uninstall a specific Go version.

> goenv uninstall
Usage: goenv uninstall [-f|--force] <version>

    -f  Attempt to remove the specified version without prompting
        for confirmation. If the version does not exist, do not
        display an error message.

goenv rehash

Installs shims for all Go binaries known to goenv (i.e., ~/.goenv/versions/*/bin/*). Run this command after you install a new version of Go, or install a package that provides binaries.

> goenv rehash

goenv version

Displays the currently active Go version, along with information on how it was set.

> goenv version
