PREFACE

I wrote an article about how cobra inits a golang mod, and I think maybe cobra is more common and frequent. This page is describing without cobra.

If you want to build a golang model:

1. create a directory, for example, I want to create a project named ‘xxx’, then just create it
2. cd into the directory, and execute command go mod init github.com/senranja/xxx, then you would see there is a go.mod
3. Then my case changes into another existent golang project.
4. how to import modules and update the go mod?

In goland, normally you can see in its builtin fire exploration, there is one only go.mod, and it actually represents both go.mod and go.sum. If you import exterior golang’s mod, then you right-click the go.mod and go mod tidy, IDE automaticly create or update go.sum, dwelt with your code’s new modules.

Normally, you dont need to focus what is go mod or go module during using goland, goland will help you to deal with the download of different exterior go module.

I will show you what are go.sum and go.mod. go.mod contains your name(in the init case I named the project xxx, and in the example files and pictures named gitlab-misconfig) and your module dependencies.

go.sum is a checkfile, it contains the dependencies’ hash summary, to demostrate its raw dependencies’ hash.

go.mod

module gitlab-misconfig
