go version

C:\Users\love1>go version
go version go1.19.2 windows/amd64

go env

C:\Users\love1>go  help env
usage: go env [-json] [-u] [-w] [var ...]

Env prints Go environment information.

By default env prints information as a shell script
(on Windows, a batch file). If one or more variable
names is given as arguments, env prints the value of
each named variable on its own line.

The -json flag prints the environment in JSON format
instead of as a shell script.

The -u flag requires one or more arguments and unsets
the default setting for the named environment variables,
if one has been set with 'go env -w'.

The -w flag requires one or more arguments of the
form NAME=VALUE and changes the default settings
of the named environment variables to the given values.

For more about environment variables, see 'go help environment'.

Print the value of a specific environment variable

C:\Users\love1>go env GOROOT
C:\Program Files\Go

Modify the value of a variable go env -w GO111MODULE=off (the modification is permanent)

go env -u variable name 1, change name 2... restore the default configuration of these environment variables
