Updating Third Party Packages in Go

Jun 11, 2016

Just a short post on how to update packages using go get.

To update all third party packages in your GOPATH use the following command:

go get -u all

To update a specific package, just provide the full package name to go get:

go get -u github.com/gorilla/mux

What about vendor-ed packages? These are updated in exactly the same way as above:

go get -u my-project/vendor/megacorp/foo

If you want more information about your GOPATH, run the command:

go help gopath
