$GOPATH is unset

Looking into this.

@asdwsda It's looking to me that GOPATH is deprecated as of Go v1.13.

The biggest use I still see for it is when go get installing binaries, which not only should be used less and less, but shouldn't be a CI activity in my opinion.

Can you explain your use-case here?

[asdwsda]

You are right, GOPATH is deprecated in Go v1.13. However this repo contains v1.12 and v1.11 as well. What about these versions?

I agree with you. Installing binaries shouldn't be a CI activity, but sometimes I need to do it. I think it is expected to be able to use go get and installed bins in such containers.

What do you think about setting GOBIN instead of GOPATH?

GOBIN
The directory where 'go install' will install a command.

GOBIN might be viable. Looking into this and will decide on something soon.

@asdwsda I did some testing.

1. go get will assume a GOPATH for you when installing a binary if one isn't set. That being said, the resulting location still wasn't in PATH so not really useful.
2. GOBIN was a good idea and would work. While doing some testing, it felt like a half-measure to just properly fixing GOPATH so I just did that instead.
3. PR #29 will make GOPATH and PATH work for Go binaries.
