The action will first check the local cache for a version match. If a version is not found locally, it will pull it from the `main` branch of the [go-versions](https://github.com/actions/go-versions/blob/main/versions-manifest.json) repository. On miss or failure, it will fall back to downloading directly from [go dist](https://storage.googleapis.com/golang). To change the default behavior, please use the [check-latest input](#check-latest-version).

The `check-latest` flag defaults to `false`. Use the default or set `check-latest` to `false` if you prefer stability and if you want to ensure a specific Go version is always used.

## Caching dependency files and build outputs:

The action has a built-in functionality for caching and restoring go modules and build outputs. It
uses [toolkit/cache](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/tree/main/packages/cache) under the hood but requires less configuration settings.
The `cache` input is optional, and caching is turned on by default.

The action defaults to search for the dependency file - go.sum in the repository root, and uses its hash as a part of the cache key. Use `cache-dependency-path` input for cases when multiple dependency files are used, or they are located in different subdirectories.

If some problem that prevents success caching happens then the action issues the warning in the log and continues the execution of the pipeline.

## Getting go version from the go.mod file

The `go-version-file` input accepts a path to a `go.mod` file or a `go.work` file that contains the version of Go to be used by a project. As the `go.mod` file contains only major and minor (e.g. 1.18) tags, the action will search for the latest available patch version sequentially in the runner's directory with the cached tools, in the [versions-manifest.json](https://github.com/actions/go-versions/blob/main/versions-manifest.json) file or at the go servers.

## Using `setup-go` on GHES

`setup-go` comes pre-installed on the appliance with GHES if Actions is enabled. When dynamically downloading Go distributions, `setup-go` downloads distributions from [`actions/go-versions`](https://github.com/actions/go-versions) on github.com (outside of the appliance). These calls to `actions/go-versions` are made via unauthenticated requests, which are limited to [60 requests per hour per IP](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/overview/resources-in-the-rest-api#rate-limiting). If more requests are made within the time frame, then you will start to see rate-limit errors during downloading that looks like: `##[error]API rate limit exceeded for...`. After that error the action will try to download versions directly from https://storage.googleapis.com/golang, but it also can have rate limit so it's better to put token.
