Go: How does go run file.go work

Question

The commands go build and go install compile the files into binaries. Does go run compile or interpret the file? I couldn\'t find expl

Answer 1

Command go run performs project's building under the hood (so yes it builds project)
and with flag --work (go run --work main.go) you can see the location of temporary build files.

Also in official documentation (go1.11) you can find:

go run - compiles and runs the named main Go package.

go build - compiles the packages named by the import paths, along with their dependencies, but it does not install the results.

go install - compiles and installs the packages named by the import paths.
