Is this project dead?

Hasn't been updated in a while and (at time of writing) is 4 go releases out of date.

I think so, lots of things don't work in the latest release, and go now makes managing multiple go versions easy natively.

travis-ci.com appear to have stopped using gimme and started using the above approach. Even though their documentation still says "All go version management is handled by gimme.", and says you can specify 1.11.x which actually no longer works, your run will fail to install Go then continue using the latest stable release.

If you do want to select the latest release of a specific minor version (like 1.11.x) then I've not found a way to do that using go install. But there is a fork of gimme maintained by urfave that works.

Though, I'd have to say my recommendation is to stop using Travis, the project itself is no longer properly maintained.

This repo's own Travis CI also appears to have been deleted: https://www.travis-ci.com/travis-ci/gimme
