Features

GoLand has a lot of features, and it can be overwhelming at first. The trick is to remember the most important IDE actions and shortcuts, and the rest will follow.   To help you, we have created the Learn GoLand section on the Welcome screen. It contains several interactive courses, meaning you can try out the features with the code yourself following the instructions. The Learn GoLand section is updated regularly. Recently we added the Onboarding Tour, a brief overview of the main features, which we think are especially useful to know about if you are coming from another IDE o

Today, I'm happy to introduce our latest feature to you to use Windows Subsystem for Linux version 2 (WSL 2, or simply WSL) to run or test Go applications seamlessly. This feature is called Run Targets and supports WSL 2, Docker, and SSH remotes. If you'd like to learn more about these, the overview article of this feature, explaining it in more detail, should come in handy. In this article, I'll focus on the WSL 2 side of this feature. If you wish to use other targets, you can check the article covering the Docker target. If you'd prefer a video version of this article, then please head t

Up until now, when you wanted to test or run your shiny new code, you had only the local machine to do so. Many of our users have told us that they'd prefer to use Docker to run their code since that's where they will ultimately test, build, and deploy the code with their CI/CD pipeline. Today I'm happy to introduce to you our latest feature that allows you to seamlessly use Docker containers for your workflows from the comfort of your IDE. We call this feature "Run targets", and it doesn't extend to Docker support only. We currently support Docker, WSL 2, and SSH remotes. You may

Previously, when you were using GoLand, you could test and run your code only on the same machine you had the IDE installed on. You could use the FTP/SFTP Connectivity (ex. Remote Hosts Access) plugin and the Settings/Preferences | Tools | External Tools feature or the built-in Docker plugin to achieve some sort of workflow. However, this was not convenient to use and did not have the integration level that our users expect when using our tools. That is why our team embarked on a journey to provide a better experience for these kinds of workflows. And that's how the Run targets feature came

During our recent webinar, we shared over 40 GoLand tips & tricks that you can use to boost your productivity with the IDE. Here's the summary of the presentation and all the tips shown: 00:00:18 - Organize projects in IDE 00:01:13 - Hide/Show Editor tabs 00:01:44 - Using the Zen Mode 00:02:09 - Show/hide the Project View Tool Window 00:02:24 - Use the Navigation Bar 00:03:04 - Import a package without typing its name 00:03:43 - Smart Type Completion 00:04:34 - Postfix Completion 00:05:43 - Method-like Completion (more…)

We released an EAP version for a seamless integration of this feature, see https://blog.jetbrains.com/go/2021/02/12/goland-2021-1-eap-3/#run_target_for_wsl Please provide feedback for it. Thank you! Windows Subsystem for Linux, or WSL as it's commonly known, allows Windows 10 to run Linux inside Windows. We are going to have a look at WSL 1 since, as of the publishing of this article, WSL 2 is not officially released yet. After installing WSL 1, and enabling your preferred Linux distribution on it, you can set up Go as you would on a normal Linux installation. You should also install Go for W
