Go Backend experimental

You may install packages directly via go install even if there isn't an asdf plugin for it.

The code for this is inside of the mise repository at ./src/backend/go.rs.

Dependencies

This relies on having go installed. Which you can install via mise:

mise use -g go

TIP

Any method of installing go is fine if you want to install go some other way. mise will use whatever go is on PATH.

Usage

The following installs the latest version of hivemind and sets it as the active version on PATH:

$ mise use -g go:github.com/DarthSim/hivemind
$ hivemind --help
Hivemind version 1.1.0

Tool Options

The following tool-options are available for the go backend—these go in [tools] in mise.toml.

tags

Specify go build tags (passed as go install --tags):

[tools]
"go:github.com/golang-migrate/migrate/v4/cmd/migrate" = { version = "latest", tags = "postgres" }
