Thanks, yes, I had checked out `go work sync`. I still don't understand
what it means with "update the modules withing a workspace" though, or what
this command does. I wish the documentation was more concrete (which files
it changes, who uses those files, or maybe an example). `go help work sync`
has a longer description, but I still don't know what it means by
"workspace's build list". But I don't use workspaces often, so I may be
missing something obvious.
Anyway I tried `go work sync`, and it doesn't seem to do anything in my
scenario -- I didn't notice any files changed by it:
```
$ cd work/a
$ go work sync
$ cat go.work
go 1.20
use (
.
/home/janpf/work/b
)
$ cat go.mod
module github.com/joe/a
go 1.20
$ go get
github.com/joe/a imports
github.com/joe/b: cannot find module providing package
github.com/joe/b
$ go version
go version go1.20.5 linux/amd64
```
ps.: ToTK seems dangerous! :)
