golang-get
golang-get is a little script that will fetch the most recent version of
Go for macOS from the official download
site and install it. This may be useful if you do not
use Homebrew to manage your Go installation. The script will
detect your Mac's architecture and download the correct package for it.
Installing
Either clone this repository and copy or move golang-get to a directory in
your $PATH, or change to a directory in your $PATH and run the following
command:
curl -OLSs https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ianfoo/golang-get/main/golang-get && chmod 755 golang-get
Running
Simply run the following command:
golang-get
If you need a specific version of Go, you can pass it as a command line argument, like so:
golang-get 1.15.12
Dependencies
You will need HTTPie or curl installed
for this script to work. This shouldn't be a problem since macOS includes curl
in /usr/bin.
