Support golang version 1.20

[joshspicer]

Oryx build currently errors out when the only available installation of go is 1.20. From the Codespaces team, this means publishing our base image with an out-of-date version of go.

Hey Josh! I've added this item to our board. By any chance do you know how soon the Codespace team will need this? This will help us prioritize the item. Thanks!

Hey William! This would be nice to have as soon as possible. The reasoning is that in our large, default image for Codespaces (which includes both oryx and go) can't fit >1 version of each language, and we prefer to include the latest/LTS versions of tools instead of outdated ones. This makes the oryx/go scenario a less-than-great experience

Hello, is this still on the board? If so, when will this be implemented? Asking mostly for Go 1.22

[joshspicer]

Thanks for following up! Either @samruddhikhandale or @VincentDondain are the best people to ask about this now

Maybe I can help? Where would I start to make a pull request?

I see that we've got to make a hash for the new versions at https://github.com/microsoft/Oryx/tree/main/platforms/golang/versions , each of these folders has a versionstobuild.txt that needs to be updated

It looks like: https://github.com/microsoft/Oryx/blob/main/platforms/golang/getGolangSdk.sh is the main downloading script.

Heres what I think is happening:

1. "GET" script works perfectly fine until line 71
2. The script checks to see if the hash is supported in the .txt
3. Since it's not it crashes

Seems like it would be an easy fix - but I don't have the ability to test this. Can someone tell me if my logic is right?

[NicholasDewberryOfficial]

he hashes can be found here: https://go.dev/dl/ using the linux-amd64.tar.gz package.

I think I can implement this, doing something similar to this: ae3b0e7

#2490 pull request open.

Like discussed earlier, I pretty much followed: ae3b0e7

Im not sure if I did the correct thing with full.dockerfile, someone pls test

Going off of: https://hub.docker.com/_/golang it looks like all docker versions (even up to the recent 1.23) seems to be supported.

Id like someone to look at my pull and verify it.

What timeframe should I expect yall to test, check, approve and merge?
