Mastering Go - Second Edition

Using version v1.1.0

In this section, you are going to learn how to use v1.1.0 of the Go module we created. This time we are going to use a Docker image in order to be as independent from the machine we used for developing the module as possible. The command we will use to get the Docker image and going into its UNIX shell is the following:

$ docker run --rm -it golang:latest
root@884c0d188694:/go# cd /tmp
root@58c5688e3ee0:/tmp# go version
go version go1.13 linux/amd64

package main import ...
