Add A Go Tool

Go-installed tools are managed via a list.

Preconditions

• Go is installed.
• You verified the module path for the tool.

Steps

1. Add the module path to:

   • home/readonly_dot_default-golang-pkgs.tmpl

   This installs as ~/.default-golang-pkgs. The file is a chezmoi template, so entries can be gated on OS or architecture.

2. Apply:

   chezmoi apply

Hook:

• home/.chezmoiscripts/run_onchange_after_05-update-golang-pkgs.sh.tmpl
• Reconcile helper: scripts/reconcile_golang_pkgs.py

Verification

which <tool>
<tool> --version

Rollback / Undo

1. Remove the module path from home/readonly_dot_default-golang-pkgs.tmpl.
2. Re-apply:

chezmoi apply

Reconciliation rules:

Rule	Detail
Removed module	its binary is deleted from GOBIN on the next apply
Safety ledger	~/.cache/chezmoi/golang-pkgs-state records binaries this tooling installed
Hand installs	binaries installed manually with go install are left untouched
Install detection	checks the binary in GOBIN (go env GOBIN, else $(go env GOPATH)/bin)
Not used	go list -m all, because it does not enumerate installed binaries
