中文步骤

  2. Use the latest version by removing @v1.2.3: go get github.com/foo/bar@latest

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 90% fail

    -e flag only suppresses error output, module still missing.

  2. 70% fail

    go.sum regeneration requires valid module version; missing version persists.
