Edit go version and update modules

Raw

Edit go version in go.mod

go mod edit -go=<GO_VERSION>

Example:

go mod edit -go=1.24

After this change is recommended to clean up potential unnecesary packages:

go mod tidy

go get -u ./...
go mod tidy

Might be necessary to synchronize vendor to synchronize changes:

go mod vendor

go get <PACKAGE_URI>@v<PACKAGE_VERSION>

Example:

go get gopkg.in/DataDog/[email protected]

After this change, use tidy and sync vendor:

go mod tidy
go mod vendor
