go-installer's Issues

specify the version of go to be installed

go version 1.16

Hi, I latest version of go is 1.16 which means the current version regex is not working with it. Can you fix it please? Thanks.

add more features and functionality

User can :

• #12
• choose whether to remove the installer(the downloaded package file) or not after installation
• specify the place of extracting go binary (GOROOT) && workplace(GOPATH).
• #11

handle installing versions with non-numerical values

Trying to install versions like go1.19rc1 and go1.19beta1 gives an error because we check if the specified version matches the three numbers, separated by two dots format (e.g. 1.2.3). We can skip the regex matching and depend only on seeing if the selected version exists on the website.

.bashrc fills with exports

If the installation script from https://git.io/go-installer is run multiple times. Exports are keep appending to .bashrc.
This is the result after 2 installations

export GOROOT=/home/tango/.go
export GOPATH=/home/tango/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin:$GOPATH/bin
export GOROOT=/home/tango/.go
export GOPATH=/home/tango/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin:$GOPATH/bin

I am using ansible-playbook to install if it makes any difference:

- name: Install GO
  shell: curl -sL https://git.io/go-installer | bash -

Option to remove tar.gz after install?

Are you open to adding an option to clean up the downloaded artifact or do this by default?

It's ever so slightly annoying to have to do this manually after a new version gets installed.
