Build a go binary with a fake version build info

Installas

installas is a tool for building a binary with a fake version stamp. It is a workaround for go.dev/issues/50603.

Note: the checksum is not spoofed, so don't worry.

Usage:

   go install github.com/hyangah/installas@latest
   cd <your_project_main_module_directory>
   installas <path_to_your_tool>@<version>

For example,

$ GOBIN=/tmp/bin installas @v1.0.0

$ go version -m /tmp/bin/installas
/tmp/bin/installas: go1.21.5
        path    github.com/hyangah/installas
        mod     github.com/hyangah/installas    v1.0.0  h1:PJzrQEorpFpFN6+aPTf87Nge8hiROBiX4xUt2SUQNjY=
        dep     golang.org/x/mod        v0.14.0 h1:dGoOF9QVLYng8IHTm7BAyWqCqSheQ5pYWGhzW00YJr0=
