Install Go using asdf for Visual Studio Code on macOS

I had a lot of issues trying to install Golang on macOS using asdf package manager to develop on Visual Studio Code.

So here's the steps needed to setup it properly:

Open Terminal and install asdf with this command:

You have to install Homebrew before running the installation command.

Make it real

Ideas are cheap. Make a prototype, sketch a CLI session, draw a wireframe. Discuss around concrete examples, not hand-waving abstractions. Don't say you did something, provide a URL that proves it.

Ship it

Nothing is real until it's being used by a real user. This doesn't mean you make a prototype in the morning and blog about it in the evening. It means you find one person you believe your product will help and try to get them to use it.

Do it with style

gitopen - Open all files from a git diff or show command
#!/bin/bash
# This script will open all files from a git diff or a git show in vim.
# My bash skills are a bit primitive so this can probably be done more intelligently
# Usage:
# gitopen -- opens all added files that have changed since HEAD
# gitopen diff HEAD -- these are the default parameters
# gitopen diff master -- opens files that have changed from master
