# NAME

go - manual page for go 1.XX

# DESCRIPTION

Go mod provides access to operations on modules.

Note that support for modules is built into all the go commands, not
just \'go mod\'. For example, day-to-day adding, removing, upgrading,
and downgrading of dependencies should be done using \'go get\'. See
\'go help modules\' for an overview of module functionality.

Usage:

> go mod \<command\> \[arguments\]

The commands are:

download

: download modules to local cache

edit

: edit go.mod from tools or scripts

graph

: print module requirement graph

init

: initialize new module in current directory

tidy

: add missing and remove unused modules

vendor

: make vendored copy of dependencies

verify

: verify dependencies have expected content

why

: explain why packages or modules are needed

Use \"go help mod \<command\>\" for more information about a command.
