go-install: Install the latest version of a program, ignoring `go.mod` in the current directory.
$ go install ${golang-org-x-tools-gopls}@${latest}
try on your machine
This command is used to install the Go language server (gopls) at the latest version available. Let's break it down:
go install: This is the Go command that is used to build and install executable programs and packages.${golang-org-x-tools-gopls}: This is a placeholder for the name of the package you want to install. It seems to refer to the package that contains the Go language server (gopls).@${latest}: This is another placeholder, but it likely refers to the latest version of the package. The notation@${version}is often used to specify a particular version of a package when installing it.
In summary, the command is invoking the Go install command to build and install the latest version of the gopls package.
