golang - reuse previously built executables if code did not change

I have a pretty big golang project that produces several executables, when I update my code I want an easy and fast way to rebuild all of them however it takes ~20-25 sec to build all of them and most of the time I change just 1 or 2

The ultimate goal - detect what changed and rebuild only changed targets as fast as possible(CI)

p.s. some parts of project use cgo, and this takes the 40-50% of the build time

From the top level of your project

go install ./...

Should install all the binaries into $GOPATH/bin

go install caches the build artifacts (unlike go build) so should do incremental builds exactly as you want.
