***Please add PATH below to your ~/.bashrc manually***

export PATH="$HOME/.gobrew/current/bin:$HOME/.gobrew/bin:$PATH"

Installation via Go works fine, but installs to the GOBIN path (default being $HOME/go/bin)

Which results in gobrew being unable to run most commands as it expects the $HOME/.gobrew folder to be the correct directory.

First time diving into Go, so maybe I'm missing something that's obvious to seasoned Go devs.

While installing go, getting following error in mocos:

❯ gobrew install 1.16 [Info] Downloading version: 1.16 [Info]: Downloading version failed: write /Users/mayank/.gobrew/downloads/go1.16.darwin-amd64.tar.gz: file too large [Error]: Please check connectivity to url: https://golang.org/dl/go1.16.darwin-amd64.tar.gz

I can download the version via browser without any issue. Any tips on how to bypass this limit?

Since it replaces the binary, in order to install the new binary the old binary needs to be deleted completely.

Repository contains binary files for all systems and all versions. In this time it 311M. Its a lot.

We need to move binary files to Github Releases. And provide path for downloads binary files.

Fo example we can download binary file from latest release:

https://github.com/juev/starred/releases/latest/download/starred_0.0.5_Darwin_arm64.tar.gz

We can use shell script with this function for download latest release, for example: https://gist.github.com/jpillora/5a7da6a297d2b6c33d04

This example contains version in binary file. But we can provide files without it.

Should we use tar for storing binary files? Good question. All operation systems contains tar. And we can use binary files with one name, and many tars with different names. For example, all executable files named as: gobrew, but tar archives as: gobrew-macos-64.tar.gz

We can install manually from release page. Just download latest release, unpack it, move to PATH. But we can provide shell script, which can do it automatically. And we can create homebrew formula for installing gobrew on macOS. We have many options for it.

For example: Hugo, contains many options for installation.

Having functionality to specify arch would be great to have. Sometimes projects might be dependent on x86_64 binaries Something like -

$ gobrew install 1.19@darwin-amd64

Hi.

I have been trying to install go1.14 to work on a legacy project, but it seems gobrew can't install it in macOS Monterey 12.5.1 (M!).

Please check the go1.19 in this log below, it is from system, but notice gobrew can't switch to go1.14 and remains allowing to install go1.14 two or more times:

Issue is current path registryPath of https://golang.org/dl/ does not finish downloading as it fails due to incorrect path to the install package. Path needs to be updated to use https://go.dev/dl/ which is the updated path for downloading a version.

Does not install the correct windows package.

Hi there,

Thanks so much for putting this project together. I'm really excited to use it. I'm currently having an issue where it seems like gobrew will not actually download the binary for any version of go. I've attached a screen recording below. I installed via curl and am using an Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Linux system. I made sure to update my $PATH

Any ideas? Thanks!

Sorry if this is not the best way to provide feedback.

I've just installed this and its fantastic!

Works perfectly and fast and is extremely useful.

Thank you!

Hi.

If possible, it would be useful to allow command completion to gobrew. This feature is present in many environment managers. Just as an example, by typing gobrew in, it would auto complete to gobrew install <cursor-here> by hit in TAB, and another hit in TAB would list the available versions.
