Now, You can go grab a cup of coffee ☕, set back 😌 and watch the magic happen! 🔮

By default the script will create .go and go folders on your HOME directory, add the needed variables to your PATH variable.

$HOME/.go is location where Go will be installed to.
$HOME/go is the default workspace.

In order to install Go to other location or set custom workspace. You can set environment variables GOROOT or GOPATH before installing (or uninstalling) Go.

For example:

export GOROOT=/opt/go            # where Go is installed
export GOPATH=$HOME/projects/go  # your workspace

The script does the following steps:

• checks if you have already installed Go!
• automatically checks the installed operating system (Linux or Mac)
• detects system architecture (armv6, armv8, amd64, i386)
• parses the golang download page to find the latest version of Go that is available for your platform and architecture
• in case of having already installed Go, if the latest and the current version are equal, the script exits 👋
• downloads the latest version
• creates needed folders for workspace and Go binaries
• extracts the files of the downloaded package
• adds the binaries to PATH environmental variable

WORKS LIKE A CHARM 🚀
