Using Go Modules — If you’ve not played with modules yet due to a lack of a canonical, official tutorial, wait no more. This post on the official Go blog covers modules, as supported in Go 1.11 and Go 1.12, from their creation to adding, upgrading and removing dependencies. Since module mode will be the default from Go 1.13 onward, now is the perfect time to cover this ground.
