Russel, Just two add a quick doc reference:
The general capability being discussed here is called "module queries". This section of the doc is probably worth a quick read or re-read: https://golang.org/cmd/go/#hdr-Module_queries Module queries provide a fair amount of flexibility, and allow you to do something like 'go get foo@sometag' or 'go get foo@somebranch' (or equivalently, have 'require foo sometag' or 'require foo somebranch' in your go.mod). However, your module query will be resolved and recorded in go.mod in a canonical form (usually a semver tag or a pseudo-version that includes a commit hash). My understanding is that at least part of the intent behind the resolution to a canonical form is related to the desire to maintain a total ordering over recorded versions (so that it is clear for example which recorded versions are "later" than other recorded versions). In any event, hope the doc reference helps, --thepudds On Thursday, November 15, 2018 at 5:39:10 AM UTC-5, Paul Jolly wrote: > > > > The `dev` in that documentation is intended to be a branch name.
