GO-VERSION(1)

NAME
go-version - print Go version

SYNOPSIS
go version [-m] [-v] [-json] [file ...]

DESCRIPTION
Version prints the build information for Go binary files.

Go version reports the Go version used to build each of the named files.

If no files are named on the command line, go version prints its own version information.

If a directory is named, go version walks that directory, recursively, looking for recognized Go binaries and reporting their versions. By default, go version does not report unrecognized files found during a directory scan. The -v flag causes it to report unrecognized files.

The -m flag causes go version to print each file’s embedded module version information, when available. In the output, the module information consists of multiple lines following the version line, each indented by a leading tab character.

The -json flag is similar to -m but outputs the runtime/debug.BuildInfo in JSON format. If flag -json is specified without -m, go version reports an error.
