This isn't actually a usable Go package or library - it's a curated awesome-list repository of Go resources. Attempting to import it as a dependency will fail because there's no Go code to import. The repository contains markdown files listing other Go packages, tools, and resources.

The confusion arises from it appearing in package registries, but it has no API, no types to import, and no functionality to integrate into your codebase. The version number and release dates are artifacts of the repository's commit history, not actual semantic versioning of a package.

If you're looking for a list of Go packages to explore, visit the repository directly on GitHub. If you somehow added this as a dependency, remove it immediately - it serves no purpose in your go.mod file and will only create confusion for your team.

This isn't actually a usable Go package - it's a curated list (awesome list) of Go resources and libraries. There's no importable code, no APIs, no runtime behavior to evaluate. If you're trying to import this in your Go project, you're looking at the wrong thing entirely.

The repository is valuable as a reference for discovering Go packages, but it has zero relevance to production operations concerns like connection pooling, error handling, or performance. It's markdown files with links, not executable code. The version number shown appears to be a Git commit hash being misinterpreted as a semantic version.

From an operations perspective, this is a category error - like trying to deploy a README file as a microservice. If you need actual Go libraries for production use, browse the list itself to find appropriate packages, but don't attempt to import or depend on this repository in your code.

This isn't actually a usable Go package or library. The github.com/avelino/awesome-go repository is a curated list of Go libraries and resources, similar to other 'awesome' lists on GitHub. It's meant to be browsed as a reference guide, not imported into your Go code.

Attempting to use this as a dependency will fail immediately - there are no meaningful Go APIs, no types to import, and no functionality to call. The 'version' numbers shown are just Git commit hashes that registries interpret as pseudo-versions. The repository contains markdown files listing other packages, not source code you can use.

If you're looking for this as a reference to discover Go packages, visit the GitHub page directly through a browser. It's useful as a discovery tool for finding well-regarded Go libraries, but it has zero value as an importable dependency in your project.
