go_use
======
If you need to switch between versions of go for different projects, things can be a hassle. If you use homebrew, that doesn't have to be a problem.

Also, if you're working in multiple shell windows, after switching which go is active, you'll want to run `go_use_refresh` in your other shells to update the environment.
# Installation
1. First, install the go versions you want to use. Examples: `brew install go` `brew install go12` (ignore warnings about linkage, of course they collide!)
2. Decide where you want the global go-paths for each version to be. (Edit GOPATHBASE in [go_use_fixup_env](./bin/go_use_fixup_env) for your environment). This keeps different go-versions of packages from clobbering each other.
3. Make sure to create the go-paths once you've decided. bin, pkg, src folders should be present in each.
4. Drop these scripts into a folder that is in your $PATH. (or link this folder into your PATH)
5. `echo "go" > ~/.go_ver` (this file stores the "current" choice of go version)
6. [Recommended] add the following to your bash .profile or .bash_login files. This will install the aliases to switch between versions and also load in the appropriate paths & roots into your shell's environment.
```
source `which go_use_aliases`; go_use_refresh
```
