channel - proper way of waiting for a go routine to finish

I wish to know what is the proper way of waiting for a go routine to finish before exiting the program. Reading some other answers it seems that a bool chan will do the trick, as in Playground link

func do_stuff(done chan bool) {
    fmt.Println("Doing stuff")
    done <- true
}

func main() {
    fmt.Println("Main")
    done := make(chan bool)
    go do_stuff(done)
    <-done
    //<-done
}

I have two questions here:

  • why the <- done works at all?

  • what happens if I uncomment the last line? I have a deadlock error. Is this because the channel is empty and there is no other function sending values to it?
