- The preinstalled patch version is generally the latest available. When a new patch is released, it replaces the previously preinstalled version on the runner.
- Using the most recent patch version speeds up setup because the required Go version is already installed on the runner and no download is needed.
The `go-version` input also accepts native Go version strings: `go1.21.5`, `go1.18beta2`, and `go1.21rc2` normalize to `1.21.5`, `1.18.0-beta.2`, and `1.21.0-rc.2`, respectively. `go1.21` resolves to exactly `1.21.0`; use `1.21` for matching patch releases. For ranges and wildcards, use SemVer syntax such as `~1.21` or `1.21.x`, not `go1.21.x`.
To try a **pre-release**:
Download and use beta or RC Go versions as needed.
