Install Go on Mac (with homebrew)

brew update && brew install golang

It’s considered best practice to use $HOME/go location for your workspace, so let’s do that!

mkdir -p $HOME/go/{bin,src,pkg}

We created two important folders bin and src that’ll be used for GO

export GOPATH=$HOME/go
export GOROOT="$(brew --prefix golang)/libexec"
export PATH="$PATH:${GOPATH}/bin:${GOROOT}/bin"

reload the settings with source $HOME/.bashrc (or .zshrc )
