Difference between `go get` and `git clone`?

Question

I had a problem with go-modbus in an issue in Github.
Author suggested me to use:

$ go get github.com/goburrow/modbus  

instead of

$ git clone https://github.com/goburrow/modbus.git

What is the difference between that two commands?

Answer 1

git clone命令将repo克隆到新创建的目录中，然后go get下载并安装导入路径命名的包及其依赖项。
