gotip

gotip [options] command

gotip provides access to daily builds of Go from the development tree. It allows developers to test upcoming Go features and bug fixes before they are released in stable versions.
The tool downloads pre-built binaries from the Go build servers, making it easy to try the latest development version without compiling from source.
