## Manual
-To install go-mode manually, place `go-mode.el` and
-`go-mode-autoloads.el` in a directory of your choice, add it to your
-load path and require `'go-mode-autoloads`:
- (add-to-list 'load-path "/place/where/you/put/it/")
- (require 'go-mode-autoloads)
-Either evaluate both statements with `C-x C-e`, or restart Emacs.
+To install go-mode manually, check out the `go-mode.el` repository in
+a directory of your choice, add it to your load path and configure
+Emacs to automatically load it when opening a `.go` file:
+
+ (add-to-list 'load-path "/place/where/you/put/it/")
+ (autoload 'go-mode "go-mode" nil t)
+ (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.go\\'" . go-mode))
-As a side note, normally the autoloads file shouldn't be part of the
-package, as it's supposed to be automatically generated by ELPA, or
-manually by the user with `update-file-autoloads`. go-mode includes
-said file because it used to when it was part of the Go distribution
-and this makes upgrading easier for some people.
