Pro Tip
Use ` -mod=readonly` to prevent module updates inadvertently breaking your build.
Anatomy of Output
Understanding the result
example.com/pkg v1.5.0 => v1.6.0 Dependency Version Shows the current version and latest available version.
update available Update Status Indicates that an update is available for this module.
Power User Variants
Optimized versions
go list -m -u example.com/pkg Check updates for a specific module.
go list -m all -versions Shows all available versions for each module.
Troubleshooting
Common pitfalls
go: invalid version: latest
Solution: Specify a valid version constraint. `go list -m -u example.com/pkg@v1.0.0`.
no module found
Solution: Ensure your project is a Go module and go.mod is present.
unrecognized import path
Solution: Check the import path for typos or capitalization issues.
