7 steps to configure local system for playing with Golang generics before go 1.18

Raw

guide.md

Install gotip

go install golang.org/dl/gotip@latest
gotip download

Install latest gopls

mkdir /tmp/gopls && cd "$_"
gotip mod init gopls-unstable
gotip get golang.org/x/tools/gopls@master golang.org/x/tools@master
gotip install golang.org/x/tools/gopls

Configure VSCode

Set "go.goroot" in settigs.json to the path of installed gotip (in my machine this path is ~/sdk/gotip).
