How do I refactor module name in Go?

I have a Go module named mymodule, and I'd like to rename it into github.com/hylowaker/awesome-module

Using command go mod edit -module github.com/hylowaker/awesome-module only changes module name in go.mod file, leaving go sources unchanged. I tried Refactor feature in GoLand IDE, but GoLand does not allow renaming with slash(/) characters.

So I had to find and replace every import "mymodule/..." into import "github.com/hylowaker/awesome-module/... from my source files.

Is there a better way to refactor them?

Much better is use GoMVP tool! I just downloaded the binary from releases and put it one level above the working directory

RUN: sudo ../gomvp old/app new/app

Then you can simply delete gomvp binary file

Run this in your Go project directory where you set CUR to be your current name and NEW to be the new one you want it changed to.

#!/usr/bin/env sh

export CUR="CHANGE THIS" # example: github.com/user/old-lame-name
export NEW="CHANGE THIS" # example: github.com/user/new-super-cool-name
go mod edit -module ${NEW}
find . -type f -name '*.go' -exec perl -pi -e 's/$ENV{CUR}/$ENV{NEW}/g' {} \;

This feature is introduced in GoLand version 2021.1.

You can invoke the Rename refactoring by pressing Shift+F6 on the module name in the go.mod file.

In GoLand just press Ctrl+Shift+R and execute "Replace in Path"

It is safe to perform that in entire project since you only need to change go.mod file and all import clauses
