How does this skill upgrade the Go runtime?

The skill utilizes Homebrew on macOS or Linux to run 'brew upgrade go', ensuring the system has the latest stable version of the Go compiler.

Can this skill handle multiple modules in one repository?

Yes, it is specifically designed to iterate through multiple project directories, updating the go.mod file in each and ensuring project-wide consistency.

What happens to my dependencies after an upgrade?

The skill automatically runs 'go mod tidy' for every updated module, which cleans up unused dependencies and ensures your go.sum file is updated for the new Go version.

Why does the skill use absolute paths for commands?

Absolute paths are used to prevent errors during parallel command execution in Claude Code, ensuring that each process targets the correct directory regardless of the current shell session's state.

Developer Tools

Upgrades Go via Homebrew and synchronizes the version directive across all project go.mod files.

About

This skill streamlines the maintenance of Go-based projects by automating the upgrade of the local Go runtime via Homebrew and ensuring version consistency across the entire repository. It handles the complex task of detecting new version strings, updating the 'go' directive in multiple go.mod files, and running go mod tidy to keep dependencies in sync, significantly reducing the manual effort required after a new Go release.

Key Features

Automated dependency tidying with go mod tidy
Robust path handling for parallel execution environments
1 GitHub stars
Bulk go.mod directive updates for multi-module projects
Automated Go runtime upgrades via Homebrew
Smart version detection and parsing from CLI output

Use Cases

Maintaining version parity across multiple Go modules in a monorepo
Automating development environment setup and toolchain synchronization
Quickly applying security patches and performance updates from new Go releases
