alt Hacker NewsI am not a golang user. If I install as recommended via `go` command on Linux how do I make sure it is updated when new versions are released? I wish it has a .deb package..

Generally speaking, the Debian package management system is really not a place I would look for prompt updates when new versions of software are released.

“go install” does not have an update mechanism. I imagine most people using it would consider such an anti-feature; it is not a package manager.
I certainly don’t want programs I “go install” to change underneath me without notice or review. That’s basically handing ownership of your computer to a remote developer.
Just `git pull` and `go build` should work!
