What is the best practice to install packages (those with go get...) in a local directory?
Example: I'd like to try out the Revel web framework, but I don't want to clutter my go installation at /usr/local/go.
Normally I'd say sudo go get github.com/robfig/revel as written on the home page, but that would install it beneath /usr/local/go/src/pkg/....
Is there an easy way to say (for example) go get --local ... and have the package in the current (sub) directory?
回答1:
You can export the env variable GOPATH. For me it is ~/local/lib/go. This folder has the subfolders bin, pkg and src, so it's just like /usr/local/go. The go-tool will then automatically download , build and install packages into this directory.

To expand on keks answer, you can update your .bashrc to look like this
export GOROOT=/usr/local/go
export GOPATH=~/workspace/me/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin:$GOPATH/bin
Now all packages installed with go get are separate from the go distribution.

You might want to consider using Go Version Manager (gvm).
Apart from switching between Go versions easily, it also lets you switch between pkgsets ("workspaces").
First you create a set
gvm pkgset create myproject
and then you use it
gvm pkgset use myproject
Works like a charm.

In modern module enabled go (introduced in go 1.11), you can use the gobin program with a GOBIN env var specifying the destination of the binary:
GOBIN=./local gobin github.com/robfig/revel
Installation of gobin is done like so:
GO111MODULE=off go get -u github.com/myitcv/gobin
