I’m new to GO and fairly new to the command line on Mac (but having a lot of fun learning :-) )
Apologies in advance if this has been covered elsewhere. I’ve tried searching but not found the answer. I’ve installed GO on two separate Macs, and started learning GO, written a couple of extremely simple programs, got them running, all’s well. I’ve created my workspace inside my Dropbox folder and done what I think I need to do inside my .bash_profile to make sure my GOPATH knows where to find stuff. That done, I then realise that the installation of Go left a folder called ‘go’ inside my home folder. That ‘go’ folder has subdirectories called bin, src, pkg. I’m assuming that this is Google’s way of saying, you’re going to need a workspace, let us create one for you. That workspace is not empty. There are, indeed, several layers of nested subfolders, containing quite a lot of ‘stuff’, the purpose of which I’m not at all clear about at the moment. I can only assume it’s ‘stuff’ which Google thinks I may need at some point. (The binaries named go, godoc, gofmt are tucked away in usr/local/go/bin where we’d expect them to be). I must admit, it seems odd that in the documentation I couldn’t find any reference to this ‘workspace’, nor do any of the various tutorials/videos that I’ve watched mention it. My question: can I simply move the contents of that ‘go’ folder to the workspace I’ve created in my Dropbox folder? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
