The action will try to enable caching unless the `cache` input is explicitly set to false.

The action will first check the local cache for a version match. If a version is not found locally, it will pull it from the `main` branch of the [go-versions](https://github.com/actions/go-versions/blob/main/versions-manifest.json) repository. On miss or failure, it will fall back to downloading directly from [go dist](https://storage.googleapis.com/golang).

## Caching dependency files and build outputs:

The action has a built-in functionality for caching and restoring go modules and build outputs. It uses [actions/cache](https://github.com/actions/cache) under the hood but requires less configuration settings. The `cache` input is optional, and caching is turned off by default.

uses [toolkit/cache](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/tree/main/packages/cache) under the hood but requires less configuration settings.
The `cache` input is optional, and caching is turned on by default.

The action defaults to search for the dependency file - go.sum in the repository root, and uses its hash as a part of the cache key. Use `cache-dependency-path` input for cases when multiple dependency files are used, or they are located in different subdirectories.

**Caching without specifying dependency file path**
```yaml
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: actions/setup-go@v3
with:
go-version: '1.17'
check-latest: true
cache: true
- run: go run hello.go

If some problem that prevents success caching happens then the action issues the warning in the log and continues the execution of the pipeline.

**Caching in monorepos**

```yaml
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: actions/setup-go@v3

go-version: '1.17'
check-latest: true
cache: true
cache-dependency-path: subdir/go.sum

## Getting go version from the go.mod file

The `go-version-file` input accepts a path to a `go.mod` file or a `go.work` file that contains the version of Go to be used by a project. As the `go.mod` file contains only major and minor (e.g. 1.18) tags, the action will search for the latest available patch version sequentially in the runner's directory with the cached tools, in the [versions-manifest.json](https://github.com/actions/go-versions/blob/main/versions-manifest.json) file or at the go servers.

## Using `setup-go` on GHES

`setup-go` comes pre-installed on the appliance with GHES if Actions is enabled. When dynamically downloading Go distributions, `setup-go` downloads distributions from [`actions/go-versions`](https://github.com/actions/go-versions) on github.com (outside of the appliance). These calls to `actions/go-versions` are made via unauthenticated requests, which are limited to [60 requests per hour per IP](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/overview/resources-in-the-rest-api#rate-limiting). If more requests are made within the time frame, then you will start to see rate-limit errors during downloading that looks like: `##[error]API rate limit exceeded for...`. After that error the action will try to download versions directly from https://storage.googleapis.com/golang, but it also can have rate limit so it's better to put token.
