In my case I was not having ~/.zshrc profile file. Followed below steps to make it work.

Mac os version : Mojave (10.14.6)

Go version : go1.13.1 darwin/amd64

As mentioned in link, when i was executing "go env" command, it was throwing error "go command not found". Adding "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin" in "~/.bashrc" profile file didn't do any magic!!

step 1 : Create .zshrc profile under home path.

$ cd /User/xxxx (Eg : /User/tapan)

$ touch .zshrc

step 2 : append 'PATH' with go in .zshrc file.

$ vim .zshrc

$ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin

$ source ~/.zshrc

step 4 : execute "go env" command, you should be able to see local environment details.

$ go env
