run

go run is a convenience tool that builds/runs an executable.

go run .                  # compile package at cwd, and run it's 'main()' method
go run . --help           # cli params for the program can be passed to go run

go run main.go lib.go ... # compile only these files, and run detected 'main()' method
go run some/package       # compile a specific package

It accepts all of the same build-flags as go build,
which includes some validation tools.

go run -race .  # compile/run, and detect race conditions
