As a user, I would like to have a command that iterates through my $GOBIN and checks if all of the packages I installed are in their latest version.
the new go install command is great and allows installing the binaries without changing anything on the machine.

some solutions I can see in mind for this:

  1. have a similar solution of go.mod or a section inside go.mod that relates to binaries so go list can display them and then can be easily iterated on.
  2. create a new go_install.mod specific for this solution
  3. add metadata in the $GOBIN folder on what binary version was installed and the go install will read it when using the --list-outdated flag
  4. other

this issue comes from the fact I have an update command that upgrades all of the components on my machine fairly frequently and rust has https://github.com/nabijaczleweli/cargo-update for that case

this could also make the vim-go binary installation simpler

This can be done with external tooling, for example https://github.com/kortschak/ugbt/.

Searched external tooling for a while and didn't find this.

I'll try it out and report back 😀

If go clean -i does not do this already then it should.

I forgot to report back. the tool works great!
collaborated with @kortschak on it and created https://github.com/georgettica/ugbt-update-all-gobin to accomodate my own needs

@beoran not sure how your comment is related to the issue, but if you meant:

go clean -i ${GO_REPO_NAME}@${GO_REPO_VERSION}

for deleting what was installed via gobin it didn't work.

Found one https://github.com/nao1215/gup (an external tool)

not as heavy into go binaries now, but if others think that gup is more mature than ugbt I'll switch my stuff there
