Unlike many projects on GitHub, the Go project does not use its bug tracker for general discussion or asking questions.
We only use our bug tracker for tracking bugs and tracking proposals going through the [Proposal Process](https://go.dev/s/proposal-process).

For asking questions, see:

* [The golang-nuts mailing list](https://groups.google.com/d/forum/golang-nuts)

* [The Go Forum](https://forum.golangbridge.org/), a web-based forum

# The -v causes dist to print the name of each directory as it runs.
# The -vv causes dist to print each build command as it runs.
# go tool dist clean cleans all directories, not just this one,
# but it's as close as we can get.

# Default target (first).
install:
	go tool dist install -v

## Supported Versions

We support the past two Go releases (for example, Go 1.17.x and Go 1.18.x when Go 1.18.x is the latest stable release).

See https://go.dev/wiki/Go-Release-Cycle and in particular the
[Release Maintenance](https://go.dev/wiki/Go-Release-Cycle#release-maintenance)
part of that page.

## Reporting a Vulnerability

#
# Windows .bat files are known to have multiple bugs when run with LF
# endings, and so they are checked in with CRLF endings, with a test
# in test/winbatch.go to catch problems. (See golang.org/issue/37791.)
#
# We'll prevent accidental CRLF line endings from entering the repo
# via the git-codereview gofmt checks and tests.
