go build

Compile Go sources. More information: https://golang.org/cmd/go/#hdr-Compile_packages_and_dependencies.

  • Compile a 'package main' file (output will be the filename without extension):

go build {{path/to/main.go}}

  • Compile, specifying the output filename:

go build -o {{path/to/binary}} {{path/to/source.go}}

  • Compile a package:

go build -o {{path/to/binary}} {{path/to/package}}

  • Compile a main package into an executable, enabling data race detection:

go build -race -o {{path/to/executable}} {{path/to/main/package}}
