Note: You can also run the command Go Mod Tree: Reveal in Tree from the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P).

You can customize the extension behavior in VS Code settings:

goModTree.viewLocation:
- left: Show in the Explorer view (default).
- right: Show in the Source Control (SCM) view.

Go must be installed and added to your PATH.
The extension relies on go env GOROOT and go env GOPATH to locate libraries.

Module cache path detection relies on standard go env output.
Some complex replace directives in go.mod might not be fully reflected in the tree structure yet.

See CHANGELOG.md for detailed release notes.

Enjoy coding with Go in VS Code! If you find this extension useful, please consider leaving a review.
