Quick note to remember the commands every time google spits out a new version of Go. Brew install golang brew update brew upgrade golang I.T. Tips and tricks Menu. This directory contains binaries for a base distribution and packages to run on Mac OS X (release 10.6 and above). Mac OS 8.6 to 9.2 (and Mac OS X 10.1) are no longer supported but you can find the last supported release of R for these systems (which is R 1.7.1) here. Xcode 12 builds Universal apps by default to support Mac with Apple Silicon, often without changing a single line of code. Designed for macOS Big Sur. Xcode 12 looks great on macOS Big Sur, with a navigator sidebar that goes to the top of the window and clear new toolbar buttons. Download and install Go quickly with the steps described here.

Prerequisites
Use LiteIDE development golang need to install the Go language development environment.
Go
Begin by installing the Go language runtime. Detailed instructions can be found at http://golang.org/doc/install.html. Testing your installation before continuing is highly recommended.
Install from binary
Windows
Download the archive and extract it into c:
Linux and MacOSX
Golang For Mac
Download the archive and extract it into /usr/local or $HOME
Building from Source
Source code for LiteIDE can be found at https://github.com/visualfc/liteide. You will need to install Qt4/Qt5 in order to compile the source. Qt can be obtained from https://qt-project.org/downloads or from your distribution’s package manager. For Mac OS X, you don’t need to install Qt from source code, but run
brew update && brew install qt
which will save you several hours.Windows
Qt4
Qt5.6
Ubuntu 16.04 Qt4
Ubuntu 16.04 Qt5
Ubuntu 14.04
Linux
Mac OS X / macOS
Qt 4
Qt 5 sdk install
Download Qt from http://www.qt.io/download and install. (Qt5.6.2/Qt5.7.1/Qt5.8)
Qt 5 brew install
Use brew install qt (eg brew install qt. Other versions of [email protected] and [email protected] works too).
Warning! brew install qt rpath incorrect do not use deploy script.
OpenBSD
Raspbian Jessie
Addin Be sure to set
QTDIR
(and MINGWDIR
for Windows users) accordingly based on your local environment.Fedora 27
Following this step I had to clone the contents of the following repos in liteide/src/github.comi.e. liteidex/src/github.com/visualfc/gotools/README.md
Using the Go extension for Visual Studio Code, you get language features like IntelliSense, code navigation, symbol search, bracket matching, snippets, and many more that will help you in Golang development.
You can install the Go extension from the VS Code Marketplace.
IntelliSense
Auto completions
As you type in a Go file, you can see IntelliSense providing you with suggested completions. This even works for members in current, imported, and not yet imported packages. Just type any package name followed by
.
, and you will get suggestions for the corresponding package members.By setting
go.autocompleteUnimportedPackages
to true
in your settings, you can also get suggestion for packages that you could import. Select one of these suggestions and an import to the selected package will be added to your file.Tip: Use ⌃Space (Windows, Linux Ctrl+Space) to trigger the suggestions manually.
Hover Information
Hovering on any variable, function, or struct will give you information on that item such as documentation, signature, etc.
By default, the extension uses
godef
and godoc
to get this information. You can choose to use gogetdoc
instead by changing the setting go.docsTool
in your User or Workspace Settings.Signature help
When you open the
(
while calling a function, a pop-up provides signature help for the function. As you keep typing the parameters, the hint (underline) moves to the next parameter.Tip: Use ⇧⌘Space (Windows, Linux Ctrl+Shift+Space) to manually trigger the signature help when the cursor is inside the
()
in the function call.The extension's signature help also uses
godef
and godoc
. You can choose to use gogetdoc
instead by changing the setting go.docsTool
in your User or Workspace Settings.Code navigation
Code navigation features are available in the context menu in the editor.
- Go To DefinitionF12 - Go to the source code of the type definition.
- Peek Definition⌥F12 (Windows Alt+F12, Linux Ctrl+Shift+F10) - Bring up a Peek window with the type definition.
- Go to References⇧F12 (Windows, Linux Shift+F12) - Show all references for the type.
You can navigate via symbol search using the Go to Symbol commands from the Command Palette (⇧⌘P (Windows, Linux Ctrl+Shift+P)).
- Go to Symbol in File - ⇧⌘O (Windows, Linux Ctrl+Shift+O)
- Go to Symbol in Workspace - ⌘T (Windows, Linux Ctrl+T)
You can also navigate back and forth between a Go file and its test implementation using the Go: Toggle Test File command.
Build, lint, and vet
On save, the Go extension can run
go build
, go vet
, and your choice of linting tool (golint
or gometalinter
) on the package of the current file. You can control these features via the settings below:go.buildOnSave
go.buildFlags
go.vetOnSave
go.vetFlags
go.lintOnSave
go.lintFlags
go.lintTool
go.testOnSave
The errors and warnings from running any/all of the above will be shown red/green squiggly lines in the editor. These diagnostics also show up in the Problems panel (View > Problems).
Formatting
You can format your Go file using ⇧⌥F (Windows Shift+Alt+F, Linux Ctrl+Shift+I) or by running the Format Document command from the Command Palette or the context menu in the editor.
By default, formatting is run when you save your Go file. You can disable this behavior by setting
editor.formatOnSave
to false
for the [Go] language. You can change this using your json setting filesYou can choose among three formatting tools:
gofmt
, goreturns
, and goimports
by changing the setting go.formatTool
.Test
There are many test-related commands that you can explore by typing 'Go: test' in the Command Palette.
The first three above can be used to generate test skeletons for the functions in the current package, file or at cursor using
gotests
. The last few can be used to run tests in the current package, file or at cursor using go test
. There is also a command for getting test coverage.Import packages
Run the command Go: Add Import to get a list of packages that can be imported to your Go file. Choose one and it will get added in the import block of your Go file.
Rename symbols
You can rename symbols using F2 or by running the Rename Symbol command in the context menu in the editor.
Debugging
The Go extension lets you debug Go code as well. You will need to install the Delve debugger manually as a prerequisite. Read Debug Go programs in VS Code for setup steps, information on remote debugging and a troubleshooting guide.
Next steps
This has been a brief overview showing the Go extension features within VS Code. For more information, see the details provided in the Go extension README.
