Removed direct link to issue tracker in the README - it makes it too easy to use it for a question - and it's abused multiple times a day for questions. It's easy enough to find it if there's a real issue to report. Added sentence to point people at golang-nuts and the new forum.

# The Go Programming Language
|
|
|
|
Go is an open source programming language that makes it easy to build simple,
|
|
reliable, and efficient software.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For documentation about how to install and use Go,
|
|
visit https://golang.org/ or load doc/install-source.html
|
|
in your web browser.
|
|
|
|
Our canonical Git repository is located at https://go.googlesource.com/go.
|
|
There is a mirror of the repository at https://github.com/golang/go.

|
|
Go is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

## Binary Distribution Notes
|
|
|
|
If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set
|
|
the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go
|
|
directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the
|
|
variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild
|
|
from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html).
|
|
You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin
|
|
to your shell's path.
|
|
|
|
For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might
|
|
put the following in your .profile:
|
|
|
|
export GOROOT=$HOME/go
|
|
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin
|
|
|
|
See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
