Show HN: Gopin – Automatically pin latest to specific versions in Go install
github.com
Hi HN! I built gopin to solve a gap in my dependency management workflow.
Renovate and Dependabot keep my CI workflows updated automatically, but they don't touch go install commands in them. I was stuck manually checking and updating versions for tools like golangci-lint, goimports, etc.
gopin fixes this by: - Pinning @latest to actual versions (e.g., @latest → @v2.6.2) - Updating outdated pinned versions to the latest (e.g., @v2.5.0 → @v2.6.2)
It queries proxy.golang.org and rewrites your files in-place:
gopin run --dry-run # Preview changes
gopin run # Apply
Would love feedback – especially if there are edge cases I missed!
