I am taking my first steps with Go and following the instructions on https://golang.org/doc/install *to the letter*. I am finding documentation issues that are reproducible on a clean system, I can give exact steps to reproduce.
To give one example, the documentation says: "(If you'd like to use a different directory, you will need to set the GOPATH environment variable <https://golang.org/wiki/SettingGOPATH>.)" which implies that if you do not set the $GOPATH variable, then the operating system default will be used, for example $HOME/go on Linux. However, if I later follow the instruction "You can run go install to install the binary into your workspace's bin directory", then I get an error: go install: no install location for directory /home/amedee/go/src/hello outside GOPATH This is probably easy to fix by always explicitly setting the $GOPATH variable, despite of what the documentation says about defaults. I still need to confirm it, but it seems the logical solution. I would like to submit a pull request or a patch to fix this documentation issue. I have read the Contribution Guidelines about setting up Gerrit, but I can't find the repository with the source code of the golang.org website. Where and how do I submit patches for the website? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
