Learning GO

Setup

All source code, my own as well as everything downloaded, resides in one directory:

export GOPATH=$HOME/go

Below that is src/, modules/ and bin/ which is suggested to be added to the PATH variable.

Tools that are recommended are installed using go itself:

go get golang.org/x/tools/cmd/godoc
go get golang.org/x/tools/cmd/vet
go get github.com/golang/lint/golint

Tools
