go install global when in module mode
0
I am a go newbie using go in modules mode. I would like to install the "rename" tool (https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/tools/cmd/gorename) globally. How do I do it? "go get" seems to install it in the current module.

What do you mean by “globally”? It installs a binary, and it’s either in your PATH, or it’s not.

I mean that it modifies the local go.mod. I'm thinking of the analog tonpm -gthat doesn't change the local project. Of course, I can purposefully run while not in local project, but that seems like a hack.

If it's not referenced in any imports in your code,go mod tidyor the next build of your project should remove it from go.mod.

I think-mod=readonlymight be what you want for now (or simply CD into another directory if you don't want the install to be influenced by the modules at all)
