Fish integrates with Go workspaces and modules (go.mod).

---

Detection & Discovery

Fish automatically detects Go projects when a go.mod file is present in the package directory.

Supported Tasks:

• build: Invokes go build for binary packages or compiles libraries.
• check: Invokes go vet ./... for static analysis.
• test: Invokes go test ./... with caching.

---

AST Dependency Inference

Fish scans Go source files for import (...) statements, automatically resolving module boundaries and linking them into the unified polyglot DAG without manual configuration.

---

Example fish.toml

[build]
backend = "go"
jobs = 4

[pipelines.build]
inputs = ["**/*.go", "go.mod", "go.sum"]
outputs = ["bin/*"]
