Create a Go Repository
To install or publish Go packages, creation of a Go repository is required. Check out Nexus Repository Management and Repository Types to learn more.
Go Proxy Repository
Note
Go proxy repository stores only the Go modules and not the Checksum data.
If you want to cache the checksum data which is optional, create a raw (proxy) repository and point the Remote storage URL to https://sum.golang.org. Make sure to uncheck the Strict Content Type Validation.
Use Nexus proxy repository when you want to download packages and centralize package caching of external dependencies. To learn more, check Proxy Repositories.
