I’d like to install a binary using

go install

, but that’s not the pants way!

pants package

will add the binary under

dist/

, but what will add the binary under

GOPATH

so I can run:

$ my-cool-cli --help

Pants has no verb yet for this. Package does what

go build

does. So this would be new Pants work and then support for the languages that supported the concept of install - Go, Rust, maybe others? The closest you get today is

pants run ...

, but that's slightly different depending on what you're after.

I was hoping to use Pants to manage all

go

code within my team, including a

cli

we have for internal use. Not sure what a workaround will be, but I can post what we decide for others to learn from. That said, I’m happy to help with defining a new verb for langs that have the

install

concept.
