I was interested when I saw the project name, but this appears to be:

    mkdir -p pkg bin src
    export GOPATH="`pwd`"
    export PATH="$GOPATH/bin:$PATH"

Only what I typed there is shorter and safer than the committed code.

That's... simple, yes.

This seems to copy a bad design decision from virtualenv. Please see https://gist.github.com/datagrok/2199506

Very nice. A little while back I wrote something similar for those who use the fish shell. You can find that here, if you're interested: https://github.com/zackkitzmiller/gofish (Pull requests also welcome)

Awesome, I won't pretend to be a bash expert. Any interest in opening a PR?

It's too simple. PATH grows with each use of the tool.

Naw, just go ahead and commit that if you like. That's too much easier to be worth the fork/checkout/commit/push/pull request cycle work in this case.

neat idea, and some neat feedback already from folks. while i'm just getting started using go (like the features, can't quite say i'm enamored with the syntax) i like the virtualenv paradigm and glad to see it ported to other languages.

It's also work checking out glp: https://github.com/cespare/go-localpath I've been using it quite happily in several projects.
