The GOPATH and PATH environment variables

The GOPATH environment variable specifies the location of your workspace. It defaults to a directory named go inside your home directory ($HOME/go).

If you really want to change your GOPATH to something else add GOPATH to your shell/bash/zsh initialization file .bash_profile, .bashrc or .zshrc.

export GOPATH=/something-else

Add GOPATH/bin directory to your PATH environment variable so you can run Go programs anywhere.

export PATH=$PATH:$(go env GOPATH)/bin

Make sure to re-source source .bash_profile your current session or simply open new tab within iTerm.
