gvm
will automatically detect if there is a newer version available for the
installed gvm
tag and give the user the option to update (NOTE This does
NOT work for semver tags). If the user chooses to update, the gvm
command will
be updated to the latest version and re-run the updated script instead.

link will be updated activating that version. If the version
is not installed however gvm

gvm
supports installing the current development version of Go
To install the current development version of Go
use the following command.
gvm next
NOTE: If you have previously installed the development version of Go
you
must pass the --update
flag if you want to build the latest development
version, otherwise it will keep using the previously compiled development
version.
gvm
creates a directory at $HOME/.gvm
and stores all of the Go versions in
it. It then creates a symlink to the currently active version at $HOME/.gvm/go
which is then added to the beginning of the PATH.
