go.cmd used cmd.exe to invoke PowerShell, which mangled arguments: cmd.exe treats ^ as an escape character (so -run "^$" became -run "$", running all tests instead of none) and = signs also caused issues in the PowerShell→cmd.exe argument passing layer. Replace it with a tiny no_std Rust binary (19KB, 32-bit x86 for universal Windows compat: x86/x64/ARM64) that directly invokes the Tailscale Go toolchain via CreateProcessW. The raw command line from GetCommandLineW is passed through to CreateProcessW with only argv[0] replaced, so arguments are never parsed or re-escaped. The binary also handles first-run toolchain download natively using curl.exe and tar.exe (both ship with Windows 10+), so PowerShell is no longer required for normal operation. The PowerShell fallback is only used for the rare TS_USE_GOCROSS=1 path. PowerShell prefers go.exe over go.cmd when resolving ./tool/go, so this is a drop-in replacement. With go.exe in place, the CI can use the natural -bench=. -benchtime=1x -run="^$" flags directly. Also removes tool/go-win.ps1 which is now unused.

Tailscale
Private WireGuard® networks made easy
Overview
This repository contains the majority of Tailscale's open source code.
Notably, it includes the tailscaled daemon and
the tailscale CLI tool. The tailscaled daemon runs on Linux, Windows,
macOS, and to varying degrees
on FreeBSD and OpenBSD. The Tailscale iOS and Android apps use this repo's
code, but this repo doesn't contain the mobile GUI code.
Other Tailscale repos of note:
- the Android app is at https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale-android
- the Synology package is at https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale-synology
- the QNAP package is at https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale-qpkg
- the Chocolatey packaging is at https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale-chocolatey
For background on which parts of Tailscale are open source and why, see https://tailscale.com/opensource/.
Using
We serve packages for a variety of distros and platforms at https://pkgs.tailscale.com.
Other clients
The macOS, iOS, and Windows clients use the code in this repository but additionally include small GUI wrappers. The GUI wrappers on non-open source platforms are themselves not open source.
Building
We always require the latest Go release, currently Go 1.26. (While we build releases with our Go fork, its use is not required.)
go install tailscale.com/cmd/tailscale{,d}
If you're packaging Tailscale for distribution, use build_dist.sh
instead, to burn commit IDs and version info into the binaries:
./build_dist.sh tailscale.com/cmd/tailscale
./build_dist.sh tailscale.com/cmd/tailscaled
If your distro has conventions that preclude the use of
build_dist.sh, please do the equivalent of what it does in your
distro's way, so that bug reports contain useful version information.
Bugs
Please file any issues about this code or the hosted service on the issue tracker.
Contributing
PRs welcome! But please file bugs. Commit messages should reference bugs.
We require Developer Certificate of
Origin
Signed-off-by lines in commits.
See commit-messages.md (or skim git log) for our commit message style.
