Install goenv

Step 3: Add it to your shell

Add the following to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc:

export PATH="$GOENV_ROOT/bin:$PATH"
eval "$(goenv init -)"

Reload the shell:

source ~/.bashrc

Using goenv

List available Go versions

goenv install -l

Example output:

1.20.14
1.21.11
1.22.6
1.23.3

Install a version

goenv install 1.22.6

Set global version

goenv global 1.22.6
goenv rehash

go version

Set version per project

Inside your project directory:

goenv local 1.22.6

This creates a .go-version file in your project.
