Go uses two build tools for any non-trivial projects. One write in go.mod and another in Make :D (see this - https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/tree/master/build/r...)

I think Hugo might be a better example, as a medium-sized non-trivial project:

https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo

There is a Docker file and some shell scripts, but you build the executable using "go install".
