Mastering Go - Second Edition

Where Go stores Go modules

In this section, we are going to see where and how Go stores the code and the information about the Go modules we are using, using our Go module as an example. Here are the contents of the ~/go/pkg/mod/github.com/mactsouk directory after using the presented Go module on my local macOS Mojave machine:

$ ls -lR ~/go/pkg/mod/github.com/mactsouk
