 This action sets up a go environment for use in actions by:

-- registering problem matchers for error output
+- Optionally downloading and caching a version of Go by version and adding to `PATH`.

+The action will try to enable caching unless the `cache` input is explicitly set to false.

-Matching by semver spec:
 ```yaml
 steps:

+  - run: go version
 ```
 
-Matching an unstable pre-release:
 ```yaml
 steps:
-- uses: actions/checkout@v2
-- uses: actions/setup-go@v2
-  with:
-    stable: 'false'
-    go-version: '1.14.0-rc1' # The Go version to download (if necessary) and use.
-- run: go version
+  - uses: actions/checkout@v3
+  - uses: actions/setup-go@v4
+    with:
+      go-version: '>=1.17.0'
+  - run: go version
+```
+
+> **Note**: Due to the peculiarities of YAML parsing, it is recommended to wrap the version in single quotation marks:
+> 
+> ```yaml
+>   go-version: '1.20'
+>  ```
+>  
+> The recommendation is based on the YAML parser's behavior, which interprets non-wrapped values as numbers and, in the case of version 1.20, trims it down to 1.2, which may not be very obvious.
+Matching an unstable pre-release:
+
+```yaml
+steps:
+  - uses: actions/checkout@v3
+  - uses: actions/setup-go@v4
+    with:
+      go-version: '1.18.0-rc.1' # The Go version to download (if necessary) and use.

+  - run: go version
 ```
 
 # Usage
 
 See [action.yml](action.yml)
 
-Basic:
+## Basic
+
 ```yaml
 steps:
-- uses: actions/checkout@master
-- uses: actions/setup-go@v1
-  with:
-    go-version: '1.9.3' # The Go version to download (if necessary) and use.
-- run: go run hello.go
+  - uses: actions/checkout@v3
+  - uses: actions/setup-go@v4
+    with:
+      go-version: '1.16.1' # The Go version to download (if necessary) and use.
+  - run: go run hello.go
 ```
 
-Matrix Testing:
+## Check latest version
+
+The `check-latest` flag defaults to `false`. Use the default or set `check-latest` to `false` if you prefer stability
+and if you want to ensure a specific Go version is always used.
+
+If `check-latest` is set to `true`, the action first checks if the cached version is the latest one. If the locally
+cached version is not the most up-to-date, a Go version will then be downloaded. Set `check-latest` to `true` if you
+want the most up-to-date Go version to always be used.
+
+> Setting `check-latest` to `true` has performance implications as downloading Go versions is slower than using cached
+> versions.
+
+```yaml
+steps:
+  - uses: actions/checkout@v3
+  - uses: actions/setup-go@v4
+    with:
+      go-version: '1.14'
+      check-latest: true
+  - run: go run hello.go
+```
+
+## Using stable/oldstable aliases
+
+If `stable` is provided, action will get the latest stable version from
+the [`go-versions`](https://github.com/actions/go-versions/blob/main/versions-manifest.json) repository manifest.
+
+If `oldstable` is provided, when current release is 1.19.x, action will resolve version as 1.18.x, where x is the latest
+patch release.
+
+**Note:** using these aliases will result in same version as using corresponding minor release with `check-latest` input
+set to `true`
+
+```yaml
+steps:
+  - uses: actions/checkout@v3
+  - uses: actions/setup-go@v4
+    with:
+      go-version: 'stable'
+  - run: go run hello.go
+```
+
+```yaml
+steps:
+  - uses: actions/checkout@v3
+  - uses: actions/setup-go@v4
+    with:
+      go-version: 'oldstable'
+  - run: go run hello.go
+```
+
+## Caching dependency files and build outputs:
+
+The action has a built-in functionality for caching and restoring go modules and build outputs. It
+uses [toolkit/cache](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/tree/main/packages/cache) under the hood but requires less configuration settings.
+The `cache` input is optional, and caching is turned on by default.
+
+The action defaults to search for the dependency file - go.sum in the repository root, and uses its hash as a part of
+the cache key. Use `cache-dependency-path` input for cases when multiple dependency files are used, or they are located
+in different subdirectories.
+
+If some problem that prevents success caching happens then the action issues the warning in the log and continues the execution of the pipeline. 
+
+**Caching in monorepos**
+
+```yaml
+steps:
+  - uses: actions/checkout@v3
+  - uses: actions/setup-go@v4
+    with:
+      go-version: '1.17'
+      check-latest: true
+      cache-dependency-path: subdir/go.sum
+  - run: go run hello.go
+  ```
+
+## Getting go version from the go.mod file
+
+The `go-version-file` input accepts a path to a `go.mod` file or a `go.work` file that contains the version of Go to be
+used by a project. As the `go.mod` file contains only major and minor (e.g. 1.18) tags, the action will search for the
+latest available patch version sequentially in the runner's directory with the cached tools, in
+the [versions-manifest.json](https://github.com/actions/go-versions/blob/main/versions-manifest.json) file or at the go
+servers.
+
+If both the `go-version` and the `go-version-file` inputs are provided then the `go-version` input is used.
+> The action will search for the `go.mod` file relative to the repository root
+
+```yaml
+steps:
+  - uses: actions/checkout@v3
+  - uses: actions/setup-go@v4
+    with:
+      go-version-file: 'path/to/go.mod'
+  - run: go version
+```
+
+## Matrix testing
+
 ```yaml
 jobs:
   build:
-    runs-on: ubuntu-16.04
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
     strategy:
       matrix:
         go: [ '1.14', '1.13' ]
     name: Go ${{ matrix.go }} sample
     steps:
-      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
       - name: Setup go
-        uses: actions/setup-go@v1
+        uses: actions/setup-go@v4
         with:
           go-version: ${{ matrix.go }}
       - run: go run hello.go
 ```
 
+### Supported version syntax
+
+The `go-version` input supports the following syntax:
+
+- Specific versions: `1.15`, `1.16.1`, `1.17.0-rc.2`, `1.16.0-beta.1`
+- SemVer's version range syntax: `^1.13.1`, `>=1.18.0-rc.1`
+
+For more information about semantic versioning, please refer to [semver](https://github.com/npm/node-semver)
+documentation.
+
+## Using `setup-go` on GHES
+
+`setup-go` comes pre-installed on the appliance with GHES if Actions is enabled. When dynamically downloading Go
+distributions, `setup-go` downloads distributions from [`actions/go-versions`](https://github.com/actions/go-versions)
+on github.com (outside of the appliance). These calls to `actions/go-versions` are made via unauthenticated requests,
+which are limited
+to [60 requests per hour per IP](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/overview/resources-in-the-rest-api#rate-limiting). If
+more requests are made within the time frame, then you will start to see rate-limit errors during downloading that looks
+like: `##[error]API rate limit exceeded for...`. After that error the action will try to download versions directly
+from https://go.dev/dl, but it also can have rate limit so it's better to put token.
+
+To get a higher rate limit, you
+can [generate a personal access token on github.com](https://github.com/settings/tokens/new) and pass it as the `token`
+input for the action:
+
+```yaml
+uses: actions/setup-go@v4
+with:
+  token: ${{ secrets.GH_DOTCOM_TOKEN }}
+  go-version: '1.18'
+```
+
+If the runner is not able to access github.com, any Go versions requested during a workflow run must come from the
+runner's tool cache.
+See "[Setting up the tool cache on self-hosted runners without internet access](https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-server@3.2/admin/github-actions/managing-access-to-actions-from-githubcom/setting-up-the-tool-cache-on-self-hosted-runners-without-internet-access)"
+for more information.
