# Go Nightly for VS Code

>**Go Nightly for VS Code** is the insider version of
[VS Code Go extension](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-go)
for early feedback and testing. This extension works best with
[VS Code Insiders](https://code.visualstudio.com/insiders).
Go Nightly contains previews of new features and bug fixes that are still
under review or testing, so can be unstable. If you are looking for the stable version,
please use [the stable version](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.go) instead.

you MUST DISABLE one of them. Docs on how to disable an extension can be found
[here](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/extension-gallery#_disable-an-extension).
