gvm
Go Version Manager (gvm) enables seamless installing and swapping between Go versions with a single command. This tool manages a Go environment for the user by allowing a user to specify which Go version they wish to use and handling all of the steps to install and configure that Go version. GVM also supports installing Go from the official Golang master branch so that you can easily try the next version of Go without waiting for a pre release build. (by devnw)

The purpose of a version manager is to help you navigate or install any tools for development easily. Version Manager can be one tool for each dependency (e.g. NVM, g) or One tool for all dependencies (e.g. asdf, mise).

Simple But Not Simple For Me lol
Don't use Brew for Go! Brew is great for a lot of things but but not for Go installation. So far this is the best Go version manager i've found. It can be nice to have different versions easily available. https://github.com/stefanmaric/g
