export GOROOT="$HOME/go"
export GOPATH="$HOME/go/packages"
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin:$GOPATH/bin

printf '⚠️  ADD (OR REPLACE) THIS LINE BELOW TO YOUR ~/.bashrc  ⚠️

export GOROOT="$HOME/go"
export GOPATH="$HOME/go/packages"
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin:$GOPATH/bin
\n'

printf "You are ready to Go!";
go version

better use $HOME instead /home/$USER

ok bro

Multiple Problems:

1. link moved: https://golang.org to https://go.dev

2. https://go.dev/VERSION?m=text gives out a timestamp after the version, which causes the script to break.

Downloading https://golang.org/dl/go1.21.0
time 2023-08-04T20:14:06Z.linux-amd64.tar.gz

try to use something like curl --silent https://go.dev/VERSION?m=text | head -n 1

Sorry guys, I just update the main repository
