On March 2, 2026, we released gogitup v0.1.4. This update focuses on reducing the friction of managing your Go toolchain by introducing a more integrated installation workflow and enhanced environment control.

What’s new

One-Step Installation and Tracking

The highlight of this release is the new install command. Previously, adding a tool to gogitup required you to install the binary via Go and then manually register it for tracking. Now, you can do both in a single step:

gogitup install UnitVectorY-Labs/gogitup

When you run this command, gogitup automatically fetches the latest release tag from GitHub, executes the go install command, verifies that the binary is available in your PATH, and adds it to your tracking list.

Custom Go Proxy Support

For users working in restricted environments or those who prefer specific mirrors, we’ve added a goproxy configuration option. You can now define a custom proxy directly in your ~/.gogitup configuration file:

goproxy: "https://proxy.example.com,direct"

If configured, gogitup will use this proxy for all installation and update operations, overriding the default GOPROXY environment variable.

Why it matters

Managing a collection of Go-based CLI tools often involves a repetitive cycle of searching for the latest version, running install commands, and remembering which tools need updating. By merging the installation and registration process, gogitup v0.1.4 transforms the tool from a simple updater into a comprehensive manager for your Go binaries.

Additionally, the new goproxy support ensures that gogitup fits seamlessly into professional development environments where network proxies are mandatory for security or performance.

Get started with v0.1.4

Upgrading to the latest version is simple. Just run:

go install github.com/UnitVectorY-Labs/gogitup@latest

Once updated, try the new install command to quickly add your favorite Go tools to your tracking list and keep them current effortlessly.
