GOLATEST=$(curl -s "https://golang.org/dl/?mode=json&include=all" | jq -r '.[].version | select(contains("beta") | not )' | sort -V | tail -1)
go get golang.org/dl/$GOLATEST   # compiles go downloader
$GOLATEST download               # downloads go release to ~/sdk/ and installs to $GOPATH/bin/
$GOLATEST version                # check that it worked

Set the new version as default

ln -sf $GOPATH/bin/$GOLATEST $GOPATH/bin/go
