Some useful goenv commands are:

shell Set GOENV_VERSION for the lifetime of a shell.
local Persist the preferred Go version in the cwd.
global Persist the preferred Go default version.
install Install a version of Go.
uninstall Uninstall a version of Go.
version Show the current Go version.
versions Display all versions of Go installed in `${GOENV_ROOT}/versions/*'.
rehash Rehash goenv shims (run this after installing executables)

## Credits

This library was heavily, heavily, heavily inspired by
[@sstephenson](https://github.com/sstephenson)'s
[rbenv](https://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv) and
[ruby-build](https://github.com/sstephenson/ruby-build) projects.
A few ideas were also taken from [nvm](https://github.com/creationix/nvm).

A number of patterns and utilities are borrowed from that project,
and it is my hope that goenv provides the same simplicity,
elegance, and usability that I've come to love in rbenv and ruby-build
for Go users.
