Building and testing Go

In this article

You can create a continuous integration (CI) workflow to build and test your Go project.

Introduction

This guide shows you how to build, test, and publish a Go package.

GitHub-hosted runners have a tools cache with preinstalled software, which includes the dependencies for Go. For a full list of up-to-date software and the preinstalled versions of Go, see "About GitHub-hosted runners."

Prerequisites

You should already be familiar with YAML syntax and how it's used with GitHub Actions. For more information, see "Workflow syntax for GitHub Actions."

We recommend that you have a basic understanding of the Go language. For more information, see Getting started with Go.
