Update globally installed packages in `$GOPATH/bin`

If I install a node package globally with npm i -g aoeu, I can update this package by running npm update -g aoeu, and I can update all my globally installed packages by running npm update -g.

Now, if I install a Go package to my $GOPATH/bin with go install GitHub.com/aoeu@latest, how can I update all these globally installed packages?

You can list and automatically upgrade all go bin packages to the latest versions using

Installation

go install github.com/Gelio/go-global-update@latest

Run: This updates globally installed go binaries automatically

go-global-update

You can't, except to update each one individually. There's no mechanism for this in Go. The files in this directory are not tracked in any way.
