How to pull code in golang

As an open source language, the source code of golang is hosted on GitHub. If you want to learn golang or participate in golang development, you need to master how to pull golang code.

The following are the steps for golang to pull code:

1. Install git

Before starting to pull golang code, you first need to install git. In Linux, you can install it by running the following command:

• Ubuntu/Debian:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git

• CentOS/RHEL:

sudo yum install git

2. Get golang’s code warehouse address

Golang’s code is hosted on GitHub, so you first need to find golang’s code warehouse address on GitHub. After visiting https://github.com/golang/go, you can see the homepage of golang's source code warehouse, the address is https://github.com/golang/go.git.

3. Download and install the source code of golang

With the git and golang code warehouse addresses, you can download the source code of golang to the local through the following command:

git clone https://github.com/golang/go.git

This will download all golang source code to the go folder in the current directory. If you only want to download a specific branch, you can specify the download branch with the following command:

git clone -b 分支名称 --single-branch https://github.com/golang/go.git

4. Pull the latest code from the remote to the local

After pulling the code, you need To check whether there is the latest code and ensure that the local code is synchronized with the remote code, you can use the following command:

git pull origin

If the prompt "Already up to date." appears, it means that your code is already up to date. If the remote repository changes, after executing this command, the local branch will be updated to be the same as the remote branch.

5. Get the golang code of a specific branch

By default, the git clone command obtains the golang master branch code. If you need to obtain the code of a specific branch, you can use the following command:

git clone -b 分支名称 --single-branch https://github.com/golang/go.git

For example, if you want to get golang’s release-branch.go1.16 branch code, you can use the following command:

git clone -b release-branch.go1.16 --single-branch https://github.com/golang/go.git

6. Switch branches locally

When you need to switch to another branch, you can use the following command to switch branches locally:

git checkout 分支名称

For example, if you need to switch to golang's release-branch.go1.16 branch locally, you can use the following command ：

git checkout release-branch.go1.16

Summary

Golang’s source code is hosted on GitHub and can be downloaded locally through the git command. You may need to configure git during the process of pulling the code. To pull the golang code, you need to install git, obtain the GitHub address of the source code, and pull the golang code through the git clone command. If you need to switch to another branch, you can use the local switch command.
