Working Install Instructions about yamlfmt HOT 4 CLOSED

Thanks for making an issue!
go install actually installs the binary to the GOBIN environment variable, which is by default $HOME/go/bin. If you add $HOME/go/bin to your path this should work. I forgot that this wasn't done by default. I'll adjust the install instructions to mention that.

Yeah fwiw I added this to my ~/.zshrc: export PATH=$PATH:$(go env GOPATH)/bin.

Thank you!

Sorry I'd forgotten about this. In #73 I included a new line to suggest a DigitalOcean article that has a go install setup guide. Hopefully this should work!

Hi, I'm not sure if the DigitalOcean page you've linked to has changed since you linked to it, but I find the install process at least as confusing as without it. The DO docs are also confusing though, I think you want to link here for people to find the article for their own OS, but the one for mac at least implies that installing go using brew will set up the path for you which didn't work for me.

I think it would be clearer to just say that the $GOPATH directory needs adding to your path if you've not used Go before, and how you do that will be dependent on your OS and shell (maybe add the ~/.zshrc example by @jamesbraza above which is also what I used: export PATH=$PATH:$(go env GOPATH)/bin)

Thanks!
