+  <code>go</code> <code>get</code> prints a deprecation warning when installing
+  commands outside the main module (without the <code>-d</code> flag).
+  <code>go</code> <code>install</code> <code>cmd@version</code> should be used
+  instead to install a command at a specific version, using a suffix like
+  <code>@latest</code> or <code>@v1.2.3</code>. In Go 1.18, the <code>-d</code>
+  flag will always be enabled, and <code>go</code> <code>get</code> will only
+  be used to change dependencies in <code>go.mod</code>.
