}

golang private mod settings

{
    "go.goroot": "/opt/go/sdk/go1.23",
    "go.gopath": "/root/.go",
    "go.toolsEnvVars": {
        "GOPROXY": "https://athens-proxy.townsy.io,direct",
        "GOPRIVATE": "",
        "GONOSUMDB": "townsy.private-github.com"
    },
    "terminal.integrated.env.linux": {
        "GOPROXY": "https://athens-proxy.townsy.io,direct",
        "GOPRIVATE": "",
        "GONOSUMDB": "townsy.private-github.com"
    }
}

Develop golang

You can refer to the official guidelines https://go.dev/doc/contribute

here is use vscode learn golang src

# clone go repo
git clone https://github.com/golang/go
cd go

# checkout the version you are interested in
git checkout release-branch.go1.23

# build go bin & pkg tools
cd src && ./make.bash && cd ..

# add `go.work` for src workspace
go work init
# change if you need
# go work edit -go=1.21
go work use src

# modify according to the following configuration
mkdir .vscode && vim .vscode/settings.json

add custom go.goroot settings

{
    "go.goroot": "/data/repos/golang/go"
}

all Go language server work perfect

Build linux kernel

build the linux kernel in the devcontainer, all tools has been installed

mkdir /data/kernel && cd /data/kernel
wget https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v5.x/linux-5.16.17.tar.xz # change version as you need
tar -xf linux-5.16.17.tar.xz
cd linux-5.16.17
make menuconfig # change config
make -j 10

Tips and Tricks

windows remote ssh cann't connection with zsh

error log:

zsh: bad math expression: operand expected at `*100000 + ...'

solution: enable useLocalServer

{
    "remote.SSH.useLocalServer": true
}

maybe have non-Windows SSH installed issue, just ignore
