Gom

Go Manager — SDKMAN-style version manager. Zero dependencies on Go itself. Works on any Linux or macOS.

Install with one command:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gohacks/gom/main/install.sh | bash

Why Gom?

Gom lets you install, switch, and manage multiple Go versions without touching system packages. Inspired by SDKMAN, built in pure Bash.

No Go required — Install Gom on a fresh machine; it fetches Go for you.

Per-project versions — Use gom use 1.23 in one terminal, gom use 1.24 in another.

Uses go.dev — Fetches releases directly from the official Go download page.

Remote install (recommended):

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gohacks/gom/main/install.sh | bash

Or from the project folder:

bash install.sh

The script automatically configures your PATH in .bashrc and .zshrc.
