setup-go

This action sets up a go environment for use in actions by:

• optionally downloading and caching a version of Go by version and adding to PATH
• registering problem matchers for error output

V2

The V2 offers: - Adds GOBIN to the PATH - Proxy Support - stable input - Bug Fixes (including issues around version matching and semver)

It will first check the local cache for a version match. If version is not found locally, It will pull it from

main

Matching by semver spec:

yaml
steps:
  - uses: actions/[email protected]
  - uses: actions/[email protected]
    with:
      go-version: '^1.13.1' # The Go version to download (if necessary) and use.
  - run: go version

Matching an unstable pre-release:

yaml
steps:
  - uses: actions/[email protected]
  - uses: actions/[email protected]
    with:
      stable: 'false'
      go-version: '1.14.0-rc1' # The Go version to download (if necessary) and use.
  - run: go version

Usage
