About:
goenv is a lightweight, shell-based tool that lets you install and switch between multiple Go versions on a per-project or global basis. It automatically downloads the specified Go version and adjusts your PATH to use it, eliminating version conflicts between projects. This simplifies managing different Go environments without requiring complex system-wide changes.
Key Features:
  • Installs and manages multiple Go versions
  • Automatic version switching based on current directory
  • Lightweight implementation using shell hooks
  • Integrates with standard Go toolchain without wrappers
Use Cases:
  • Maintaining compatibility with legacy Go versions in older projects
  • Testing libraries against multiple Go versions
  • Isolating development environments for different applications
Alternatives:
  • gvm – More mature but heavier and slower; goenv is lighter and faster
  • asdf – Polyglot version manager; goenv is Go-specific with simpler setup
