go-list: List module dependencies and available updates.
$ go list -m -u all
try on your machine
The command "go list -m -u all" is used in the Go programming language to list and update the dependencies of a Go module.
Here is a breakdown of each part of the command:
- "go list" is the main command that allows us to interact with Go modules.
- "-m" flag is used to indicate that we want information about the current module.
- "-u" flag stands for "update" and is used to update the specified modules to their latest available versions.
- "all" is an argument that specifies that we want information about all the dependencies (direct and indirect) that the module requires.
So, when you run "go list -m -u all", Go will list all the direct and indirect dependencies of the current module and also update them to their latest versions if available. This command is useful when you want to see an overview of the dependencies used in your Go project and ensure that you have the most up-to-date versions of those dependencies.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
