The name was "Mac OS X" during versions 10.0 to 10.7.
It was renamed to "OS X" starting from 10.8 until 10.11.
The current name is "macOS" starting with 10.12. [1]
Previous changes (e.g., CL 47252) updated "Mac OS X" to macOS
in some places, but not everywhere. This CL updates remaining
instances for consistency.
Only the pages that display current information were updated;
historical pages such as release notes for older Go releases,
past articles, blog posts, etc., were left in original form.
Rename the "#osx" anchor to "#macos" on /doc/install page,
along with the single reference to it on the same page.
Add an empty div with id="osx" to not break old links.

The videos on the front page are always the same width, regardless of
the viewport width. These changes let the video fill the space given
to its container regardless of layout. It uses the standard hack for
making iframes responsive, but the videos are loaded at random and do
not have uniform aspect ratios so that information is injected into the
DOM using custom properties. If these are not supported, it falls back
to the same layout present before this change.
Note: this change also requires CL 108678 to complete the fix,
though either CL without the other is harmless.

uses Google's image charts API (at chart.apis.google.com).
The service is now deprecated (see developers.google.com/chart/image),
and visiting http://chart.apis.google.com gives a 404. The endpoint is
still active, so the Go code in the example still works, but there's
no point in making the link clickable by the user if the page returns

The existing text makes it seem like there's no way
to use GitHub over HTTPS. There is. Explain that.
Also, the existing text suggests explicit checkout into $GOPATH,
which is not going to work in the new module world.
Drop that alternative.
Also, the existing text uses pushInsteadOf instead of insteadOf,
which would have the effect of being able to push to a private
repo but not clone it in the first place. That seems not helpful,
so suggest insteadOf instead.

I've reorganized the guide and rewritten large sections.
The structure is now more clear and logical, and can
be understood and navigated using the summary displayed at
the top of the page (before, the summary was confusing because
the guide contained H1s that were being ignored by the summary).
Both the initial onboarding process and the Gerrit
change submission process have been reworked to
include a concise checklist of steps that can be
read and understood in a few seconds, for people
that don't want or need to bother with details.
More in-depth descriptions have been moved into
separate sections, one per each checklist step.
This is by far the biggest improvement, as the previous
approach of having to read several pages just to understand
the requires steps was very scaring for beginners, in
addition of being harder to navigate.
GitHub pull requests have been integrated as a different
way to submit a change, suggested for first time contributors.
The review process has been described in more details,
documenting the workflow and the used conventions.
Most miscellanea have been moved into an "advanced
topics" chapter.
Paragraphs describing how to use git have been removed
to simplify reading. This guide should focus on Go contribution,
and not help users getting familiar with git, for which many
guides are available.
