Go Latest

A simple tool that updates go.mod dependencies to their latest version.

How to get it?

Simply install it using go get:

$> go get -u github.com/matang28/go-latest

How to use it?

go-latest takes 2 command-line arguments:

• Regex expression that matches the module name
• Root path to scan for go.mod files (recursively)

So if we have the following go.mod file:

module github.com/my/module

require (
    github.com/some/dep1 v0.0.0-20190101-askj298jkhasd
    github.com/some/dep2 v1.2.3
    github.com/some/dep3 v0.1.0-20190101-askj298jkhasd
)

replace github.com/some/dep1 => github.com/some/dep v.1.2.3

and you want to upgrade all dependencies that matches github.com/some/dep1 you'll run the following command:

$> go-latest "dep1" .

and the go.mod file will be changed to:

module github.com/my/module

require (
    github.com/some/dep1 latest
    github.com/some/dep2 v1.2.3
    github.com/some/dep3 v0.1.0-20190101-askj298jkhasd
)

replace github.com/some/dep1 => github.com/some/dep latest
