Hello,
I am new golang user. I have started to write Go code. Thanks to @toddmcleod’s tutorials I am progressing well.
There has been some Odd issue with the installation of Golint tool in windows.
My Go PATH is set to C:\local\04_Go-ws where I store all my repositories and sources.
When I run the command go get -u github.com/golang/lint/golint It types out a error as below:
package golang.org/x/tools/go/gcimporter15: directory "C:\\local\\04_Go-ws\\src\\golang.org\\x\\tools\\go\\gcimporter15" is not using a known version control system
Then I tried to install the gcimporter15 package: go get golang.org/x/tools/go/gcimporter15
And I still get:
package golang.org/x/tools/go/gcimporter15: C:\local\04_Go-ws\src\golang.org\x\tools exists but C:\local\04_Go-ws\src\golang.org\x\tools\.git does not - stale checkout?
Not sure whats wrong.
Also note that I use GitBash shell.
I have tried to do these with elevated permissions enabled as Administrator, still the same results.
Please help and let me know in case I am giving wrong commands.
