I am new to Go programming language and every tutorial starts off from setting GOPATH to current project folder.
Am I missing something? Is programmer really supposed to set GOPATH manually when he cd to his new Go project folder? I have read several FAQ entries about GOPATH but still couldn't wrap my head around it.
And why does GOROOT exist then? What's its purpose?
Are there any automatic tools which detects if current directory is root folder of Go project (for example by some hidden file) and changes GOPATH to this directory automatically?
Thank you, any advice really appriciated
ps. For example I develop completely disjoint Go projects A, B and C, should they live in single "workspace" environment? I guess not, but what I should do with GOPATH and GOROOT then?
