What documentation are you referring to? Did you 
read https://golang.org/doc/code.html ?

go.exe?

I suspect Go uses your current directory to name your output file. 
Read https://golang.org/doc/code.html how to organize your Go code. You 
could also use -o flag to provide whatever output file name you like, for 
example "go build -o hello.exe".

What bash shell are you talking about? Windows does not come with bash 
shell. If you have Linux install, then you should install Linux version of 
Go, not Windows version of Go.

I hope it helps.
