As you start working with Go, one other thing you may want to add to your ~/.bash_profile (on linux and mac, not sure about others) is
CDPATH=.:$GOPATH/src/code.google.com/p:$GOPATH/src/github.com:$GOPATH/src/bitbucket.org export CDPATH so let's say you have $GOPATH as /home/my-name/work/golang and a project at $GOPATH/src/github.com/fmpwizard/my-project without the CDPATH, you would have to do : cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/fmpwizard/my-project to go in there with CDPATH you simply do cd fmp (press tab and autocomplete will fill in the rest) (not my original idea, got it From Rob Pike https://twitter.com/rob_pike/status/467367507305574400 ) Thanks On Friday, September 23, 2016 at 7:48:06 AM UTC-4, leon.j...@gmail.com wrote: > > Thanks for the response, it makes sense now. > > On Friday, September 23, 2016 at 12:13:30 AM UTC-4, leon.j...@gmail.com > wrote: >> >> I'm new to golang, and I'm trying to understand the role of GOPATH.
