Should go.sum file be checked in to the git repository?

Question

I have a program with source code hosted on GitHub that uses Go Modules introduced in go 1.11.

go.mod file describes my dependencies, but go.sum file seems to be a lockfile. Should I be adding go.sum to my repository or should I gitignore it?

Ensure your go.sum file is committed along with your go.mod file.
