A GitHub Action to run Go commands with automatic workspace setup, now deprecated in favor of actions/setup-go.
What is GitHub Actions for Golang?
Golang Action is a GitHub Action that runs Go commands within CI/CD pipelines. It automatically sets up the Go workspace and handles project configuration, making it easier to integrate Go testing and building into GitHub workflows. The project was created when Go projects needed specific `$GOPATH` placement, though this is now deprecated.
Go developers using GitHub Actions for CI/CD who need automated testing, building, or custom command execution in their workflows.
It simplifies Go project integration by automating workspace setup and supporting various configurations like custom import paths and Go Modules. However, the maintainer now recommends using the official actions/setup-go for newer versions.
