+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Get downloads and installs the packages named by the import paths,
+along with their dependencies.
+
+When checking out or updating a package, get looks for a branch or tag that
+matches the locally installed version of Go. The most important rule is that if
+the local installation is running version "go1", get searches for a branch or
+tag named "go1". If no such version exists it retrieves the most recent version
+of the package.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B \-a, \-n, \-v, \-x, \-p
+The \-a, \-n, \-v, \-x, and \-p flags have the same meaning as in 'go build'
+and 'go install'.  See \fBgo-build\fP(1).
+.TP
+.B \-d
+The \-d flag instructs get to stop after downloading the packages; that is,
+it instructs get not to install the packages.
+.TP
+.B \-fix
+The \-fix flag instructs get to run the fix tool on the downloaded packages
+before resolving dependencies or building the code.
+.TP
+.B \-u
+The \-u flag instructs get to use the network to update the named packages
+and their dependencies.  By default, get uses the network to check out
+missing packages but does not use it to look for updates to existing packages.
+.P
+For more about specifying packages, see \fBgo-packages\fP(7).

+For more about how 'go get' finds source code to download, see \fBgo-remote\fP(7).
